Leaked e-mails allegedly undermining climate change science should be treated as a criminal matter, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Wednesday afternoon.It's a crime that she's still a U.S. Senator, but hopefully we'll be able to fix that next year.
Boxer, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said that the recently released e-mails, showing scientists allegedly overstating the case for climate change, should be treated as a crime.
"You call it 'Climategate'; I call it 'E-mail-theft-gate,'" she said during a committee meeting. "Whatever it is, the main issue is, Are we facing global warming or are we not? I'm looking at these e-mails, that, even though they were stolen, are now out in the public."...
"This is a crime," Boxer said.

Not the scientists who were making up the numbers, but the hackers who got the emails:

What is Barbara crying about, congress is full of criminals that haven't been prosecuted for their crimes (lying about paying their taxes, not paying their taxes, taking graft payoffs from businesses, and the list goes on).
That is the same approach to dealing with the ACORN problem. Prosecute the newsbringers.
(I'm not convinced it was a theft, or even a leak.)
Since it hasn't been determined how the e-mails were procured Boxer is just making things up out of thin air.
This is an old, and tired, political technique to misdirect people's attention. Move along, nothing to see here.
I hope this story has legs and that whomever got a hold of the evidence has a lot more they are holding back for future release. Maybe during Copenhagen?
Al Gore was unavailable for comment.
"Old and tired".
That would be Boxer. "Legs", not so much.
Oh. You mean the story.....
I started out believing "crack" (correct for what people mislable "hack".
Then I believed "whistle blower".
Now I believe "delivered"--perhaps unintentionally. I think it was put in a public place where the expectations are the public will find it.
But you can take this to the bank: If Boxer says "my name is Boxer", check it out. Carefully.
