Thousands of emails and documents suggesting that global warming is an insidious hoax plotted by an international network of politically-motivated, left-wing environmental scientists were hacked from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University
in the United Kingdom and posted on the internet late last week. The emails were made public on a Russian file-sharing site and East Anglia University officials have since authenticated those emails. Published less than a month before the opening of a major climate-change summit in Copenhagen, the emails are thought to be a smite to global warming theory.
