'Climategate' : a professional job ?

Pretty sure you all remember the Climategate theory, which occurred by the end of 2009, just before the Copenhagen conference ? Thousands of emails had been obtained from the hacking of the University of East Anglia in England. These emails have been used to show that the climate change theory was just a conspiracy and that many scientists didn't believe in such a theory.

Well, today, Sir David King, UK government's former chief scientist, claims that "the hacking of climate research emails was planned either by a government agency or by lobbyists hoping to derail the Copenhagen Summit."

Here is the article about it : Climate email hack 'a professional job'

So what do you think ? Is it really a professional job ? If so, by a government ? a lobby ?

Hmmn. So he concludes:

"If it was a job done on behalf of a government, then I suppose there is the possibility that it could be the Russian intelligence agency," he said.

"If it was a maverick group then I suppose it could be the Americans, but I am hazarding a guess as much as anyone else. I've worked within government and I've seen this in operation.

"In terms of the expense, there is the American lobby system. Right now, the American lobbyists are a very likely source of finance for this, so the finger must point to them."

Not sure where I would place my money / bet were I to guess!

But you would think the same, that it was a professional job ?

Sir David King. You would have to think he knows what he's talking about ....

Yeah would say the same, it was weird that it happened just before the Copenhagen Summit.

Interesting to see where this goes on the news wires.

Yeah, not sure many TVs will show this tonight !

Haha good picture !

Would rather bet on the lobbyists. They had the resources to kill the electric car already : 

Yeah, now that's a thing. I am hoping that this movie 3 or 4 years ago has proven a turning point and electric cars will soon become an everyday sight. We shall see!

I think we shouldn't wait so long before getting good electric cars. The major car makers are beginning to create some. Like Renault with their Zero Emissions cars :

Still two years to wait for these cars, but rather later than never !

Cool. Is this to scale?!

Well, Ferarri has unveiled a hybrid concept, so I'm thinking sooner or later all models of all cars would have at least a hybrid version.

Good for the climate - but bad for me. I keep walking into moving hybrid cars - they're too silent!
