Hackers Break into Servers of UK Climate Research Unit

HeadlineNov 23, 2009

In other climate news, hackers broke into the computer system at the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain last week and posted online thousands of sensitive documents including emails from from climate scientists. Kevin Trenberth of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research says the leak of documents may be aimed at undermining talks at next month’s Copenhagen global climate summit. Trenberth accused the hackers of cherry-picking from the stolen data and distributing selected documents to try to undermine scientific consensus on man-made climate change.
