Climategate 2.0?

The basis for the United Nation's claim that the Earth's atmosphere had warmed by 6/10ths of a degree over the past century was a temperature database created by the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the British University of East Anglia. This database was not based upon the actual raw temperature data from weather stations around the world, but rather "adjusted" temperatures created by CRU itself. After several years of ignoring requests for access to this data, unknown persons leaked thousands of CRU emails, computer notes and datasets onto the internet, revealing that the CRU adjusted database was a fraud. The resulting scandal became known as Climategate and was the subject of my posts here, here, and here. 

Well, the folks who leaked the initial batch of CRU emails have just released a new batch just before the latest UN climate conference with another potential quarter million emails to be released in the future. Anthony Watts' indispensable Watts Up With That? blog has the story.
