Anthony Watts has a wonderful pair of emails from the University of Arizona�s climate scientist Dr. Jonathan Overpeck regarding �big oil� and influence in the climate debate. Go and read the entire thing.
Context -- a bunch of emails were released on August 21st.
From Christopher Horner at WUWT:
NOAA releases tranche of FOIA documents � 2 years later
Today, NOAA finally delivered thousands of pages (hard copy, oddly, despite our request for electronic copies) of additional records that had been withheld during the deliberations over what to produce for a thorough FOIA seeking records relating to the HS, Mann�s appointment, Menne/surface stations, M&M, Climategate and the like.
This is a request from two years ago that has produced thousands of pages of papers and emails (all of the good stuff among which, in an odd coincidence, having already been produced under Climategate) and was the last in a series of four requests in response to which NOAA claimed �no responsive records�, when actually referring to records which they possessed but which Susan Solomon had said were really IPCC records and therefore not agency records. The subsequent IG investigation uncovering this response given to others, which we challenged when given to us, affirmed that this claim was not appropriate.
