Thousands of emails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia have been hacked. The 'skeptic/denialist blogosphere is exultant, thinking they've found a smoking gun of the multigenerational conspiracy of grant-hungry scientists in collusion with capitalists, poltiicans, the illuminati and... oh, MCFly despairs.

George Marshall has a piece on scientists not getting what damage the scandal might actually will do.
Here are a few other links

Climate Progress
