Os detalhes sobre isto ainda não são nítidos, provavelmente nunca saberemos exactamente o que aconteceu. Mas parece que a "Climate Research Unit" da Universidade de East Anglia, foi atacada por um hacker e muitos, muitos ficheiros foram divulgados na internet pelo hacker ou pessoa desconhecida.
Actualmente estou em viagem e escrevo isto de um aeroporto, mas aqui está o que eu sei até agora:
Uma pessoa desconhecida colocou postagens em alguns websites cépticos que divulgavam um ficheiro FTP num servidor de FTP Russo, aqui fica a mensagem que foi colocada no Air Vent hoje:
Achamos que a ciência climática é, na situação actual, demasiado importante para ser mantida em segredo.
Lançamos aqui uma selecção aleatória de correspondência, códigos e documentos
O arquivo era grande, cerca de 61 megabytes, que contém centenas de ficheiros.
Ele continha dados, códigos, e-mails de Phil Jones da CRU de e para muitas pessoas.
Eu vi o arquivo, ele parece ser genuíno e da CRU. Outras pessoas que viram concordam - ele parece genuíno. Há tantos ficheiros que parece pouco provável tratar-se de um embuste. O esforço teria que ter sido muito grande.
Aqui estão alguns dos e-mails colocados no Climate Audit sobre esta discussão:

Eu editei os endereços de e-mail e números de telefone directos. Os endereços de e-mails todos são de universidades públicas dos E.U.A., tornando-os assunto público, acho eu:

Mike,
In an odd way this is cheering news ! One other thing about the CC paper – just found
another email – is that McKittrick says it is standard practice in Econometrics journals
to give all the data and codes !! According to legal advice IPR overrides this.
Cheers
Phil

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow.
I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps
to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from
1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers
Phil

Hi all – I’m not too comfortable with this, and would rather not sign – at least not
without some real time to think it through and debate the issue. It is unprecedented and
political, and that worries me.
My vote would be that we don’t do this without a careful discussion first.
I think it would be more appropriate for the AGU or some other scientific org to do this -
e.g., in reaffirmation of the AGU statement (or whatever it’s called) on global climate
change.
Think about the next step – someone sends another letter to the Senators, then we respond,
then…
I’m not sure we want to go down this path. It would be much better for the AGU etc to do
it.
What are the precedents and outcomes of similar actions? I can imagine a special-interest
org or group doing this like all sorts of other political actions, but is it something for
scientists to do as individuals?
Just seems strange, and for that reason I’d advise against doing anything with out real
thought, and certainly a strong majority of co-authors in support.
Cheers, Peck
Dear fellow Eos co-authors,
Given the continued assault on the science of climate change by some on Capitol Hill,
Michael and I thought it would be worthwhile to send this letter to various members of
the U.S. Senate, accompanied by a copy of our Eos article.
Can we ask you to consider signing on with Michael and me (providing your preferred
title and affiliation). We would like to get this out ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Michael M and Michael O
