Is James Hansen the ClimateGate Leaker? |

#9 It appears what was 'leaked' was a zip file possibly prepared for a FOI request and then distributed for review by interested parties - ie "Do you have a problem with us releasing this stuff?" Which makes Hansen releasing it after deleting stuff incriminating to him and his cronies at least possible. If so, Jones and others at CRU must be livid. Note that CRU has said nothing about how the material was 'lost'. |

#8 My own guess is the leaker is whoever does the IT. Probably someone who reads The Register and had a little look for himself... I'll bet this t0shirt is staying in his washbasket |

#7 I'd say he's just pointing at the designated fall guy. |

#6 I don't buy it. Hansen is as invested in warmmongering as anyone else on the planet. |

#4 I truly wish Hansen would get fingered as the guy responsible, especially if it resulted in a whole slew of his disciples at GISS having their careers ruined. The one group that is part of the cabal that hasn't been touched yet is NOAA. Early on as VP, Al Gore made it his personal mission to both break their resistance to his schemes, and fully corrupt them into supporting them. I even got his free DVD, produced by NOAA, mostly for the video footage on it of the Arctic, but unfortunately I pitched it long ago. It was the prototype for Al's movie. |

#3 Hansen *isn't* an insider to CRU. He wouldn't have access to their systems in that fashion. If he's the leak, he'd have to have hacked or sponsored the hack. Highly unlikely. I kind of think people are just connecting dots they've noticed, because they can be seen, not because those points are particularly proximate. Sort of like mountain peaks rising up out of a heavy cloudbank. |

#2 I think someone leaked it rather than it being from hacking.An insider disturbed by the deception and dishonesty going on in climate science. |

#1 Even if he's not, it has the makings of a great rumor. |
