Climate change email and data theft hoo-ha

Some of you may have been following the scandal about the theft of data and emails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, most likely by hackers paid by climate contrarians bent on undermining support for a deal on climate change at the rapidly approaching (and unravelling) Copenhagen meeting. As I did my PhD in CRU, and as I still have strong links to UEA, I might write a post about this little drama. But then again, I might not, as everybody else seems to be busy doing precisely that. So, in the meantime, here is a link to some of the most intelligent commentary on the whole affair.

Petition against the EU’s exploitation of occupied Western Saharan waters

I’d like to suggest that people sign the following petition against the illegal exploitation of occupied Western Saharan waters by EU fishing vessels. This has been made possible by the EU’s granting of “Advanced Status” to Morocco, despite the latter’s continuing occupation of much of Western Sahara and the continuing efforts of the Moroccan government to subvert the UN mandated referendum on self determination for Western Sahara. The petition is open to organisations and individuals. Thanks.
