A fascinating, though brief, evaluation of the leaked CRU emails:
From Nicea to Copenhagen EXCERPT: Shortly before the Copenhagen summit the proponents of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) were embarrassed by a whistleblower who put on the web more than a thousand e-mails either sent from or received at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, headed by Dr. Phil Jones. The CRU was founded in 1971 with funding from sources including Shell and British Petroleum. Coolers transmuted into Warmers, and it became one of the climate-modeling grant mills supplying tainted data from which the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concocted its reports.
