Of hockey sticks and climate-change e-mails

First, of hockey sticks. It looks like Dr. Edward Wegman's "independent" climate report in 2006 to the Congressional Committee on Energy and Commerce was actually partisan-driven, with his "hockey stick" scripting actually being assisted by a GOP staffer:

And, we also know more about the corporate-sponsorship side of Wegman, too:

Second, the climate change e-mail hackers? We now have some clues.

"Forensic data analysis reveals that the hacker was in a time zone somewhere in the eastern US or Canada. Rather than a single breach of security, the hacker was also able to access confidential CRU on four different occasions over a six-week period."

So, while I stand behind an earlier comment that Russia had motive, it seems it might not be involved.

Rather, can we say, from the U.S. East Coast... Manhattan Institute, George Marshall Institute or some other denialist think tank?
