global-warmingNov.24, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Representatives from one hundred and ninety two nations will come in Copenhagen to attend the ‘climate conference’ of the United Nations from December 7 to December 18. The main highlight of this conference will be finding possible solutions to check carbon dioxide emissions and several greenhouse effects that is increasing the global warming problems in the country. With only two weeks left for the conference, some of the internet hackers illegally got the access of East Anglia University’s Climate Research Unit email server and hacked more than one thousand emails from the server as well as over 3800 documents related to global warming issues, stated sources.

According to the reports of sources, the hackers not only stole several important information but also leaked them on the internet. On their blog site, they posted one link that gave people access to all the data that they had stolen from the Climate Research Unit. They also posted a note on the site, which read, ” We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code and documents.”

Hacking of the global warming emails have shocked everyone including the government officials and they have demanded for independent inquiry so that everything related to this email hacking incident comes out within a short period of time. Lord Lawson, a climate skeptic and former British Chancellor also demanded independent investigation of this case. The hacked emails can also pose more legal threats later, warned the security officials after this incident.
