The Copenhagen climate summit has certain elements of conspiracy theory to it, including an attempt by IPCC Vice Chairman Jean-Pascal van Ypersele to blame the Russians for release of the ClimateGate emails. Here is a report by the London Telegraph writer James Delingpole on the pathetic attempt to turn the whole U.K./U.S. fiasco into an international spy story. (It was Delingpole who coined the "ClimateGate" name, by the way.)
The motive that the ClimateGate defenders attribute to the Russians is a desire to distract the Copenhagen negotiators from their work. However, surely they can do better than that. For example, they could speculate that the Kremlin probably wants to keep oil usage respectable, since Russia is the world's number one producer. Natural gas, too. Or, just as likely, the Russians really would like the world to get a little warmer. A longer growing season, as V. Putin has joked. And the prospect of January picnics in the gardens outside the Kremlin.
If Congress and the British Parliament were doing their duty to their respective publics, hearings would be held in each body on the nature and extent and possible answers to man-made climate change. Opponents would be allowed to call an equal number of experts to testify. Put the whole thing on C-Span and let the public see and hear it all.
There is a spectrum of informed voices on this topic, ranging from those convinced of global warming and its man-made aspect (these are the folks invited to Copenhagen); to critics who think warming is real and man is responsible, but that the CRU was irresponsible; to those who think warming is real and man may have contributed, but that the proposed cures are inappropriate and extreme; to those who think global warming is real, but not man made; to those who doubt that long term global warming is underway and therefore, human beings are not crucial agents. All these voices should be heard.
Meanwhile, trying to blame the Russians for hacking the CRU computers is so phony that it suggests desperation.
It was not the Russians. A Russian gateway/proxy was used to *conceal* identity. If it were the Russians, they would have used a far off proxy server, not one in their own back yard.
Do not forget, the emails were sent much earlier to the BBC who then sat on the story for 3 weeks…
It was an insider/whistleblower.

Personal take:
They are the residual emails of a batch which had already been *sanitized* from the CRU systems, in order to illegally prepare an incomplete response for a future (likely successful) FOIA request. The emails in question were *not* going to be provided under a FOIA request.
These are deleted emails from a sanitized batch which were foolishly or purposely archived and/or discovered by an insider or whistleblower (perhaps the sanitizer himself). The insider then had pangs of conscience or an axe to grind and released them surreptitiously.
Also: The leaker may enjoy protection under the UK’s Public Interest Disclosure Act of 1998, which was enacted to protect whistleblowers.

The Copenhagen criminals would sell out democracy and deserve none of the protections or rights a democracy would offer.
Thanks to Russia if they did do this. Clearly the West has forgotten much of what you have learned. Stand up for the world Russia and help make sure Copenhagan fails.
"It was Delingpole who coined the "ClimateGate" name, by the way."
Bleh. I'm sick of 'gate names for scandals. I'm sure Delingpole had a deadline to meet, but I wish someone would come up with something different.
Treason. All these politicians who attend Hoaxenhagen should be all sacked and trialed for Treason. Especially Australia's Kevin Rude.

Well I rather admire Putin and the way he puts Russia first.
I would like to think he was behind Climategate but I think the facts say otherwise.
Vladimir Putin is too clever by half to have leaked ANYTHING to the BBC.
russiablog.org did a very good task by posting up this article.i really like the interface of this site.it's very easy to use & very user-friendly.
