Do hacked e-mails show global-warming fraud?

Those opposed are jumping up and down over this:

Controversy has exploded onto the Internet after a major global-warming advocacy center in the UK had its e-mail system hacked and the data published on line. The director of the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit confirmed that the e-mails are genuine — and Australian publication Investigate and the Australian Herald-Sun report that those e-mails expose a conspiracy to hide detrimental information from the public that argues against global warming.

It's a race. Get things in place and soak us for carbon credits, before it is proven incorrect. Then, like all gov't programs, it won't be stopped. I dare someone to list a gov't program of massive spending or taxation that has been stopped or even investigated when it is found out to be ineffective.
Follow the money.

Here is a less political link. Note the differences.

Hacked E-Mails Fuel Global Warming Debate | Threat Level | Wired.com

I would be interested in seeing the raw files, not the edited, clipped, cherry picked choices that deniers have chosen to use as "evidence". Because if this is all they found, this is much ado about nothing.

Notice the immediate DENIER. May be a hoax, but we will see.

It's not a matter of politics as much as it is money.
The Wired article starts out with a condoning of the global warming policies by addressing "Skeptics".
Follow the money and the warming advocates as they fly around in their Gulfstreams pushing their agenda. They could do this more carbon efficient by teleconferences and more fuel efficient transport, if they were serious. Their own actions are counterintuitive. Their arguments are slowly dissolving. It's a race for time as to wether they can make some taxing changes before being found out.

I am a "green" thinker and do'er and they tend to infuriate me with their actions.
I also have a mindset that "green" can be cost efficient and not a tax burden. They don't get that.

Follow the Money.

420 and a lot of us "Intellectually bankrupt" don't
As I have said before, the folks who call themselves "intellectually superior" are generally not. Arrogant? Maybe!.
