AR5Egate – the “E” standing for … could be Examination, Extraction, Explanation, Embellishment, Expediting, Emergence, c’mon, I’m sure you can think of more, even better “E”s – with ease.

Haha nice one. This is literaly the first thing I saw today – it made my day.
As for the “gate”, it’s not really a gate yet. The “gate” comes in when they release the “adjusted” report and all the concessions are gone, or replaced with more inane doom-mongering ramblings from the warmist “A-Team”.

AR5-DumpGate #2
Alex Rawls’ AR5 dump was #1
So this AR5 dump given to Donna L is #2.
It is likely there will be more AR5 dumps . . . so my naming convention is practical . . . just add a number as each new dump occurs.

One whole gig of files leaked? It sound like someone opened a FLOODGATE to me.

rogerknights: What Anthony Watts actually suggested was “Secret Santa Leak”. Perhaps that is not sufficiently cosmopolitan, but in the US a “Secret Santa” is a person who bestows a Christmas present anonymously.

Now Donna is receiving demand letters from the IPCC, trying to intimidate her into silence.

Someone shoud start a dictionary of reality corrected global warming terms….Ok I will start:
Climate Change Dictionary
PEER REVIEW: The act of banding together a group of like-minded academics with a funding conflict of interest, for the purpose of squeezing out any research voices that threaten the multi-million dollar government grant gravy train.
SETTLED SCIENCE: Betrayal of the scientific method for politics or money or both.
DENIER: Anyone who suspects the truth.
CLIMATE CHANGE: What has been happening for billions of years, but should now be flogged to produce ‘panic for profit.’
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE: Leftist Nutcase Prize, unrelated to “Peace” in any meaningful way.
DATA, EVIDENCE: Unnecessary details. If anyone asks for this, see “DENIER,” above.
CLIMATE SCIENTIST: A person skilled in spouting obscure, scientific-sounding jargon that has the effect of deflecting requests for “DATA” by “DENIERS.” Also skilled at affecting an aura of “Smartest Person in the Room” to buffalo gullible legislators and journalists.
JUNK SCIENCE: The use of invalid scientific evidence resulting in findings of causation which simply cannot be justified or understood from the standpoint of the current state of credible scientific or medical knowledge.

It would be good if “leak” could be part of the name, because it’s so descriptive. And the suffix “gate” has come to mean what the French call an “affair.” I think it’s unavoidable, although it’s threadbare. So how about Leakygate? It allows for appending -1 and -2 to distinguish the two leaks.
(Left on the cutting room floor: Lucky leaky; Fifth time leaky.)

Coupled with “SnowGate” the message would be “Don’t eat the yellow snow!”

Ipsyleak? That comes trippingly off the tongue. The “Ipsy” alludes to both the IPCC and the “oopsy” feeling the leaks must have induced in it.
@DesertYote: So far enough startling material has come out from Leakygate-1 that it is almost a scandal, which would qualify it as a ‘gate”; and, if Donna’s book is anything to go by, a look at the innards of the IPCC’s review process, such as Leakygate-2 promises, will be scandalous.

You beat me to it, I was thinking leakygate as I was reading down the thread and thought somebody would think of it. Of course it has the provenance from the initial Watergate

NO no no no.. no more gates.. How about calling it premature adjustification .. yes I know is not a real word:)

Leak-Gate 2
So far I like “FlashGate”. They were flashdrives and it carries the connotation of something being exposed ….
How about, in keeping with Global Warming, Secret Santa and attempted deception, “SnowGate”?
