(Via http://www.mediamatters.org ) Rush Limbaugh -- who had previously condemned the "thugs" who hacked then-Gov. Sarah Palin's email account -- joined right-wing bloggers in touting a series of emails that were apparently stolen from the UK's Climate Research Unit [CRU]. Limbaugh proceeded to distort at least one of the emails in order to falsely suggest that it is evidence that global warming is "made up" and that leading climate scientists have been engaged in "substantial fraud." (All opinions expressed on this channel are mine and NOT those of Media Matters, Crooks and Liars, or any other source. Furthermore, any right-wing "tooliness" will result in blocking, and deletion of your comments. Don't like it? Too effin' bad. Thank you.)
You are right! The Hadley Center that Rush talks about is not source of the email. There are plenty of other databases such as those at NASA and Scripps.
Limbaugh refers to R. Spencer. He actually developed the temperature remote sensing technology used by NASA.
Someone should ask Rush why there is no more multi-year ice at the North Pole. The US and Royal Navies have tons of data on sea ice thickness dating backt to the beginning of the cold war.
