Russia behind climate email leak?

by Emily Braham last modified Apr 30, 2010 06:30 AM
There are rumours that Russia was behind the damaging East Anglia University email leaks

Rumours the Russian secret service could have been behind the hundreds of leaked emails of some of the world's most prominant climate scientists have emerged today.

It is agreed the revelation of secret emails, which may show scientist's collusion to manipulate climate data to help discredit skeptics, was a professional job.

Some have now suggested it was the work of paid Russian hackers, part of the FSB security forces and descendants of the KGB.

The leaked emails have been a major distraction leading up to the Cop15 negotiations and have damaged the Climate Research Unit's credibility.
