A snippet from the article, relevant to my post below:
Quote:
The e-mails were in the files of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia in England. And their importance to the Climate Change effort cannot be denied.
Professor Jones’ global temperature record is the most important of the four sets of temperature data on which the IPCC and governments rely. The predictions in the CRU reports have steadily predicted that the world will warm to catastrophic levels unless trillions of dollars are spent to avert it.
Professor Jones is also a key part of the closely knit group of American and British scientists responsible for promoting the picture of world temperatures conveyed in Michael Mann’s “hockey stick” graph which ten years ago turned climate science upside down by showing that, after 1,000 years of decline, global temperatures have recently shot up to their highest level in recorded history. It was that graph that started the stampede toward global warming hysteria.
Just a few of the exposed e-mails reveal efforts to hide the fact that research was not supporting the global warming claims. Kevin Trenberth, of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research wrote to Professor Jones, “We can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment, and it is as travesty that we can’t.” Professor Jones wrote that he had used a “trick” to “hide the decline” in a chart detailing recent global temperatures.
Those raw documents show a pattern of deception, intimidation and fraud.

"...

...that, after 1,000 years of decline, global temperatures have recently shot up..."
And...
“We can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment, and it is as travesty that we can’t.”
Well, I happen to have a copy of the complete "hack" although now many suspect it wasn't a hack, but a whistleblower who deliberately let the files out.
If you want to see the "1000 year data" you can
do so here. If you want to play with them in an Excel Spreadsheet, I have them
in that format here.
Finally, for those who just want a quick peek at the "disasterous warming" (a lie) that has been going on in the last 50 years, I will put them right here.
You will notice that there have been few years showing a variation of more than one degree (all temps are in Centigrade) and there is no trend at all.
In fact, over all the 1998 temp of 15.9896 C is actually colder than the mean temp in the year 1000 of 15.9155 C.
