The University of East Anglia, the center of the 2009 "Climategate" scandal that started with the theft of thousands of e-mails sent between prominent global-warming scientists, reported Tuesday that 5,000 more e-mails have been released into the public domain.
The U.K.-based university said the latest batch of e-mails posted on the Internet were not the result of a new security breach, but appeared to have been held back from the original hack. The latest release appeared timed to disrupt the United Nations climate talks scheduled for next week in Durban, South Africa, the university said in a statement.
"This appears to be a carefully timed attempt to reignite controversy over the science behind climate change," the university said in a statement. The college did not know whether all the e-mails were genuine, but found a sampling to be from the original theft.
