Guardian Series Dissects CRU Email Theft Story

Fred Pearce at The Guardian has produced a brilliant, 12-part series on the circumstances and implications of the email theft from the University of EastĀ Anglia.

The series tracks the whole story and is bluntly critical in its analysis and treatment of some of the now-embarrassed climate scientists who featured the emails. Pearce also looks gingerly at the likely suspects among those who may have been involved in the thefts and who, at the very least, were aggressive in disseminating theĀ emails.

Most importantly, Pearce puts the whole sideshow into context, saying ā€œNothing uncovered in the emails destroys the argument that humans are warming the planet.ā€ And later, ā€œHumanity is still to blame. And we still, urgently, need to do something about it.ā€
