So if the climate researchers can falsify data to make their position look better, who says the 'hackers' didn't falsify/alter this email to strengthen theirs?

That said, I often think that even though the scientific process and peer review should eventually produce the most correct understanding we can garner at any specific time, they are just as likely to be effected by the all mighty dollar and personal motives as the rest of society.
