Yes, indeed. That would be poetic justice.

HOWEVER. Let us reserve judgement. It is not clear to me that the data was released by "hackers".

It is possible that the data was obtained and released by a "whistleblower".

Hacker. Bad.

Whistleblower. Good.

The global warming quacks will likely obsess on the fact that the data was "illegally" and "unethically" obtained by an evil hacker, working for sinister, right wing forces, undoubtedly, Fox News.

Enlightened people will have to remind the quacks that it is ultimately nature of the information that is relevant. However the information came to light, one cannot put the toothpaste back into the tube. It is still toothpaste.
