A few days before the UN climate summit in South Africa, as happened on the eve of the climate summit in Copenhagen in 2009, a group of internet hackers sent to a file with 5000 private emails of some leading researchers at the University of East Anglia, UK.
At the time filtration media made a huge noise that turned out to christen the controversy over the content of e-mails as "Climategate", making a pun on words with the famous case of "Watergate," which ended with the mandate of Richard Nixon in the U.S..
Now hackers are breaking the law again for allegedly stealing a lot of emails and make them publicly known through four pages of Internet skeptics of climate change. The information can be downloaded from a Russian server for some time, but during the afternoon of Tuesday the site was blocked and not allowed access to information.
As in the previous edition, the post match discussions of researchers, among which stand out Phil Jones of East Anglia, and Michael Mann of Penn State University (USA).
The University of East Anglia itself says from a statement "there is no recent evidence of a violation of our system. Check if the mails are authentic, the volume of material makes it impossible to confirm that today they are. These emails appear to have been retained after the data theft and e-mails in 2009, to be released at a time intended to cause a maximum effect in the upcoming international talks on climate. "
"It seems to be a carefully planned attempt to reignite the controversy over the science of climate change, although science has been claimed by three separate and independent investigations and a large number of studies, including the last performed by the group surface temperature of the Earth Berkeley ". "As in 2009, extracts the e-mails were taken out of context."
