Note on the "Russian teenagers" post, regarding the CRU hack:

Those thinking that the CRU hack was the work of an inside whistleblower have to also take into account that there was an attempt to post the file on RealClimate.org by hacking into their server. That's a pretty sophisticated whistleblower who can steal email messages and try to hack into other systems to post what he had stolen -- also targeting probably the most prominent Web site explaining the science of global warming -- particularly a site associated with the "Hockey Stick", Michael Mann and Gavin Schmidt, and by proxy, the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) and James Hansen.

I stand by my supposition until there is evidence conclusively disproving it.
