Dr. Tim Ball, renowned environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, writes in the Canada Free Press that more than likely the person who released the emails and documents that have all become part of Climategate, was a whistle blower and not a hacker. And as such this would have profound legal implications.
Whistle blowers are protected by laws and it would also allow for this information to be admissible in a court of law.
Ball indicates there is a list of likely suspects, insiders, who may well have been the whistle blower and points a finger at Keith Briffa, one of the climate scientists who appeared to be a war with those running the show at the Climate Research Unit.
