ClimateGate 2.0...

It looks like FOIA.org has done it again – releasing another set of emails between the various participants in the anthropogenic global warming crowd.  I've only read through a few that Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre have highlighted.  FOIA.org has the whole thing up in a searchable database.  FOIA.org has many megabytes more that they're not releasing yet (the file is there, but encrypted, so all they have to do is release a password to unleash them).  I'm not sure why FOIA.org is playing coy with them – they've made no demands that I'm aware of, so it doesn't appear to be a shakedown.

One thing I'm noticing already: two years ago when the original ClimateGate emails were released, the blogs jumped all over them right way, but the media studiously ignored them for months.  This time they're in the mainstream media right away.  Interesting...
