Hockey Stick Smoke and Fire?

Dr. Michael Mann, lead author of the discredited "hockey stick" graph
that was once hailed by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
as the "smoking gun" of the catastrophic man-made global warming theory,
has asked to intervene in American Tradition Institute's Freedom of
Information Act lawsuit that seeks certain records produced by Mann and
others while he was at the University of Virginia, for the purpose of
keeping them hidden from the taxpayer.
Specifically over the weekend ATI's Environmental Law Center received
service from two Pennsylvania attorneys who seek the court?s permission
to argue for Dr. Mann to intervene in ATI's case. The attorneys also
filed a motion to stay production of documents still withheld by UVA,
which are to be provided to ATI's lawyers in roughly two weeks under a
protective order that UVA voluntarily agreed to in May. Dr. Mann's
lawyers also desire a hearing in mid-September, in an effort to further
delay UVA's scheduled production of records under the order.
Dr. Mann's argument, distilled, is that the court must bend the rules to
allow him to block implementation of a transparency law, so as to shield
his sensibilities from offense once the taxpayer ? on whose dime he
subsists - sees the methods he employed to advance the global warming
theory and related policies. ATI's Environmental Law Center is not
sympathetic.
"Dr. Mann's late-hour tactics offer the spectacle of someone who relies
on the media's repeats of his untrue claims of having been
'investigated? and ?exonerated' - that is, when he?s not sputtering ad
hominem and conspiracy theories to change the subject," said Christopher
Horner, director of litigation for ATI's Environmental Law Center. "Mann
has tried whatever means possible to ensure he remains free of any
serious scrutiny, and this just appears to be his last gasp."

The first sentence is an outright lie. It is such a terrible lie that
the rest of the post can be ignored. Dr Manns graph was never ever
discredited. There were 2 separate investigations of his work that
resulted in affirming that his work was valid. It has been ten years
since the graph was published and the lies continue. There has since
been a third investigation including emails and again the
investigations found nothing wrong.
Snip the rest of the Koch brothers paid for lies.

Give me a break. Piltdown Mann? That is disgraceful. The graph has
been duplicated and validated and most of us are not computer savvy
enough to even understand the algorithm.
You stand in judgement of a person who is not charged with any offense
and has been proven by several investigations to have done nothing
wrong. What makes you people so ready to crucify him ? You are the
modern day rabble.
