Now that we all have time to take a breath from the whirlwind of Climategate, Copenhagen, and the Christmas/New Year holiday, Steve McIntyre has written up a timeline on how the Climategate emails came to be public knowledge on the climate blogs.
Titled The Mosher Timeline, for our well known and frequent commenter Steven Mosher, it ties all of the blogs together that received the Russian FTP server link to the FOIA2009.zip file as a comment from the person(s) who leaked the file.
There are familiar but disassociated bits of knowledge tied together with new information to create a complete picture.
It is well worth the read, here.
For those who didn’t know, our own Charles The Moderator figured greatly in this timeline, props to him.

Ian L. McQueen (06:41:33) : “Yes, Say-ers would be correct. And knowing something of katakana-ization of English words and the lack of an “r” sound in Japanese, I predict that it will come out something like say–ahs.”
I think it is certain Chinese dialects that lack the ‘R’ sound. Japanese lacks the “L” sound. It contains many words and names with an R: Hirohito, hara-kiri, Hiroshima, Rashomon, Arikawa, arigato, apatana-guru and so on and on.

“On or around December 1st, the media reported that police were “working with a team from Scotland Yard amid speculation that hackers also tried to break into a second climate institution in Canada.” The Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis […]”
This centre is actually situated at the University of Victoria. The allegation had been made by Andrew Weaver, “Canada’s leading climate modeler”. He did succeed in getting considerable media mileage out of this; however, he didn’t count on a U. Vic informant fwding an internal E-mail to Steve McIntyre, as reported by Terence Corcoran in the National Post (circa Dec. 10):
Weaver’s Web II
“Climate modeller’s break-in caper spreads across Canadian university, exposing Climategate as monster cross-disciplinary big-oil funded attack on psychology labs
“The break-in at Doc Weaver’s office, which he linked to the evil fossil fuel industry’s attempt to discredit global warming policy, turns out to have been one of numerous break-ins at the University of Victoria.
“On Dec. 2, an official university-wide email warned that “there have been a number of office and lab break-ins across campus in recent days […]”

I dunno about these “climate modellers” and their fellow alarmists … they so often seem to succeed in damning themselves with their own words. For other examples of this rather unfortunate trait, see:

“Anthropogenic global warming -> Global warming -> CLimate change ->
Background warming -> ?
what’s next?”
Well, I was poking around on the CRU UEA site. Peter Liss, the Acting Director (during the Jones “review”) lists his Research Interests as:
Environmental chemistry; biogeochemical interaction between the oceans and atmosphere; and …. wait for it ….
global change
Mods, can I recommend at least a ‘scrub’ of this post for language:

Thanks. (I don’t want my kids to see something like this please.)
