Thousands of emails and documents were posted on the Internet after being hacked from Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University in the United Kingdom.

The hacking and release raises obvious ethical and even legal questions over the alleged behavior of scientists who advocate the view that human activity is a significant cause of global warming.

Global warming deniers claim the documents suggest that scientists are pushing an “agenda” that humans are responsible for global warming.

In the hundreds of emails that were stolen and have been taken out of context, there isn’t actual evidence of such a plot.

The hacked emails involve both American and European researchers, and according to the New York Times they include “discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — in some cases derisive — about specific people known for their skeptical views.”

The emails also suggest “bitter feelings” involved in the debate between those on both sides of the issue of global warming and the seriousness of the threat.
