According to news reports a group of hackers broken into the email system at the University of East Aglia's Climatic Research Unit(CRU), on of the world's leading research centers. The leaked emails are being touted by global warming deniers as a vast global conspiracy on behalf on global warming advocates. In response, a group of respected research scientists from Real Climate have stated none of the emails proved or mentioned any conspiracy, hoax, falsifying data, or mention of George Soros nefariously funding research.
Many skeptics believe this attack on CRU's website is to slow progress in the upcoming UN climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in December.
I find this whole thing totally absurd and probably the work of major polluters paying hackers to break into this website. I do not believe in a global warming conspiracy and believe it is a reality. We have been polluting on a growing scale every year and science points to cause and effect with regard to pollution or anything else for that matter. There is always an effect to an action; If we were to dump poison into the river there is an effect, it will probably kill the fish and other animals; if we release non-native snakes into an ecosystem it may destroy native birds or other creatures; if we mine for gold with chemicals it may leave toxic chemicals in the water stream. With any action there is a cause and effect and it's time we realize this! Whether your afraid of slowing down the economy is a wholly different issue, but global warming is a fact. If you think this hack was just some patriots liberating the world you're sorely uniformed, and I'm sure we'll find out it was funded by a big corporation that pollutes on a massive scale. I hope that at the upcoming climate conference we can reduce pollution by decreasing polution limits, improving clean technology, and working together globally to not allow any other nation an advantage economically by allowing higher pollution levels.
Do you believe in a global warming conspiracy? Why?
Were these hackers paid by a big corporation to sabotage the upcoming UN Climate conference in Copenhagen?
