If you're interested, read all the comments. They are lengthy but very informative.

The hockey stick is not at controversy even with the theft of these emails. The National Academy of Sciences had already independently verified Mann's reconstruction and concluded that it was completely legitimate.
Thus the entire code analysis is more conspiracy befuddling.

I'm curious if you actually read all the comments?

It's one thing to raise legitimate questions and challenges to AGW, or any other scientific theorum, but these conspiracy theories are completley baseless false accusations that is nothing more than cat nip for the denialist crowd or those that have a general mistrust of the scientific community as a whole either of their own ignorance or agenda pushing.
