If it was indeed an insider whistleblower, Jones, Briffa, Kelly, and some others could be crossed off of this CRU staff list, but who knows what lurks in the hearts of the others?
Hmmm, I’d put my money on Mr. Mike Salmon, just because he’s the IT guy. But, if it’s hard to get in contact with Salmon to inquire about this matter, it’s probably because he’s being water-boarded by Jones and Briffa.
Or, perhaps it is Mr. Ian (Harry) Harris whose duty among other things is, wait for it – “data manipulation”! (Hat tip to eagle-eyed commenter, JasonR)
If the leaker/whistleblower is one of the CRU staff members listed below, it seems that they may enjoy protection under the UK’s Public Interest Disclosure Act of 1998, which was enacted to protect whistleblowers.

Ian Harris, data manipulation, should start by manipulating himself a less suggestive job description.
I also couldn’t help noticing not a single black face. The CRU is hideously white.

“Data manipulation”. Ah, I shall amend the post.

Tom says:
Possibly because, like all bigots, you only see what you want to see. I spotted two Chinese and a Saudi without really trying. Admittedly not “black”, but not “white” either, to use your outmoded and racist categories. You can also see that CRU is extremely cosmopolitan, much more so than your average university department. Even you should be able to surmise that this aspect of CRU regularly lends itself to non-Caucasian students and researchers.

But keep in mind one of those pasty white faces might be the leaker/hero. Perhaps time will tell.

Let’s put this Hadley CRU thing to bed. The Met Office’s Hadley Centre is a separate body to the CRU, although they do jointly produce temperature data sets such as HadCRUT. I believe Anthony Watts mistakenly conflated the two at the start of Climategate and it kicked on from there.
-
JasonR is correct.

Harbinger says:
I found this as well, but having read it again here, I noticed the name Jean Pautikof. I knew she was at CRU and then the Met Office but note she has now become involved in Australia but is described as a visiting fellow at CRU.
Here’s her background. http://www.zoominfo.com/Search/ReferencesView.aspx?PersonID=359800964. She is now transplanting the CRU ethos to this new Institute in Australia. This happens a lot, eg Diane Liverman, a Stephen Schneider pupil and Head of the Climate Change Institute at Oxford, has recently jointly formed a new Climate Institute at the University of Arizona, with none other than Jonathan Overpeck, now receiving rave reviews in the CRU “e-mails you wish you hadn’t sent” production. She is described at the Oxford web site as “on leave of absence” but still named as head of the unit. Probably getting paid from both.
Note that Tom Wigley is also a visiting fellow at CRU. Here’s a historical list: http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/about/history/people.htm. It shows how long some of these people have been there. It also shows Ben Santer and Tom Wigley were both there working with Phil Jones in the 70’s-80’s. Nice old boys club.

I’m going to go off topic on my own blog, but since you brought up Stephen Schneider, I can’t resist.
Here’s some video of Schneider’s inconvenient appearance on the 1970’s TV show hosted by Spock/Leonard Nimoy, In Search Of…The Coming Ice Age.
It’s the #2 most popular post ever on this blog. Enjoy:

JasonR: We know Hadley is separate to CRU but they are extremely close (not in miles) and staff seem interchangeable at times, as with CRU and Tyndall. For all intents and purposes they use the same data and share the same agenda. People never leave these institutions, they are re-absorbed into one of the other organisations. The dates are their CRU dates, now at Had/met. Note Palutikof again.

I wonder if these “experts” feel any shame in possibly fueling the continuation of starvation and depriving the third world of any hope of ever having lives remotely resembling ours of the early 1900’s?

Brian says:
Every single one of them should be tried for fraud and put in jail for life. They need to be made an example of for lying to the people of this world. I have no sympathy for any of these crooks for the outright disregard they have shown. They should be made to pay back every single penny with interest for the grants of our money they were given. They should be barred from ever touching a computer and working in the scientific community again. I can’t even imagine what damage they have done to the world economy with their lies. I hope every single business that has been impacted by their actions sues the UN and each scientist involved. I have always believed this was a lie, now we have proof. This makes the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme pale in comparison to the level of corruption in every country. Any politicians and individuals involved should “ALL” go to jail.

At the bottom of this page is a list of unders – mostly UK and EU Quangos with some US orgs and even private companies.

Government scum can’t make decisions. This is why they hold endless evacuation training sessions so that they don’t become paralyzed in the event of a fire trying to make up their mind what escape route to take.
It will take years for them to get fired and worse, many months for them to reveal that their investigation was stalled because they forgot what it was they were supposed to investigate.
