The Epstein Files is the reverse Climategate
oh look it's Nathan Myhrvold, the Microsoft billionaire involved with the Freakonomics climate denialism chapter, forwarding the Dr. Strangelove-esque Lowell Wood's forwarding of a Steve Koonin climate denial column to Jeffrey Epstein. Most recently, Koonin was on the Trump DOE climate-denial group

Back in 2010, there was a fuss called "Climategate" wherein some right-winger hacked into the private emails of a climate research institution & pored through them, looking for sentences & even individual phrases that could be plucked out of context and made to look sinister.

The right-wing tactic of sifting through huge caches of emails and pulling individual words and phrases out of context in order to stoke controversy ... was not born with the Twitter Files. Remember the DNC leak? Or even farther back, remember "climategate"? It's a longstanding tactic.
The Twitter Files was a glimpse of the future of right-wing political warfare, and its success offered a template for providing red meat to an audience with an insatiable appetite for grievance. Now, it seems we might get a Twitter Files for U.S. govt www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The wild thing here is that it is pretty clear how to weather a bad-faith mob attack
- Don't give a single inch
- Senior staff particularly protect and defend individual victims
- Actively attack the mob as bad-faith, racist, liars, etc
Climategate really taught us this more than a decade ago

Academia had had 10 years to prepare for being gamergated and hasn't, because (like journalism) it doesn't understand how to counter bad faith

I have a spicy take as well that the "100 corporations" bit caused such a *massive* issue on dealing with global warming as a whole by assuming its the corporation fault and not also the fact of you know, people who use them,

There is a *reason* climategate didn't happen a second time. Even with slimy PR guys like Michael Shellenberger constantly trying to stomp on women / poc working in climate and energy.
We know the playbook and we regularly punch back with much greater force.

We’ve seen this over climate change from the start. It was the key to ‘ClimateGate’, for those with long memories. It was used over Covid time and again for those with vested interests. It’s very sad for a good journalist to let himself be used here, at best.
