Repeated criminal attempts to break into universities and access scientific emails have happened several times, not just once. It’s becoming more clear that these are organized attempts to sabotage any action on climate change, especially before the Copenhagen summit.

Remember Nixon’s crime — Watergate. That was an illegal break-in from which all other “gates” are named. The illegal break-in was the crime, not to be confused with some effort to take correspondence out of context and fool the public into thinking something that is happening is not happening. Watergate was clearly a crime. Climate Hackergate is a serious crime. The fact that it is happening over and over again makes it a conspiracy.  It’s a form of political terrorism too.  Sabotaging the climate talks and ending attempts to mitigate climate change is tantamount to condemning millions of people to death.  Below is a recent article on this from Raw Story:

“A series of repeated break-in and computer hacking attempts at a Canadian climate research institute are a sign of a “well-orchestrated campaign of harassment” against climate researchers ahead of the Copenhagen summit, several news sources report.

Employees at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, have revealed that the school’s Centre for Climate Modelling has experienced at least two break-ins in recent months, as well as several attempts at hacking into the center’s computer network.

The news comes a week after revelations that computer hackers stole thousands of emails from a climate research center at the University of East Anglia in the UK, some of which purportedly show attempts to cover up data that does not fit with claims about global warming.

Those leaked emails are at the center of a political push-back by climate skeptics, who are arguing that the “Climategate” emails show that global warming is a fraud, or at least has been exaggerated.

Canada’s National Post reports:

“Andrew Weaver, a University of Victoria scientist and key contributor to the Nobel prize-winning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says there have been a number of attempted breaches in recent months, including two successful break-ins at his campus office in which a dead computer was stolen and papers were rummaged through.

“The key thing is to try to find anybody who’s involved in any aspect of the IPCC and find something that you can … take out of context,” Mr. Weaver said, drawing a parallel to the case of British climate researcher Phil Jones, who was forced to step down this week after skeptics seized upon hacked emails they allege point to a plot to exaggerate the threat of climate change.

“People don’t like it, so they try to discredit it, and the way they try to discredit it is by attacking the individual responsible for it,” Mr. Weaver said.

“They went through my desk drawers,” Weaver told the Victoria Times-Colonist. “It was bizarre and the only computer that wasn’t secured was [...]
