Michael E. Mann's Hacked Email Story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaU1M-LA6Uw

Published on Jan 9, 2015

Penn State Meteorology Professor and Author Michael E. Mann tells the
story of waking up to find his email has been hacked by the fossil fuel
industry. "Various emails of mine have been cherry picked from the
thousands of stolen emails. Individual words and phrases have been taken
out of context to misrepresent the content of the emails to malign me, my
colleagues, and climate research itself," says Mann.

Speaker:
Michael E. Mann, Professor of Meteorology, Penn State University; Author,
The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines

This program was recorded before a live audience on December 16, 2014.

This distinguished self proclaimed Nobel Peace Prize is starting to

The rule when you write an email is to suppose that it could be read, one
day, by everyone, even if it is a private email. Maybe it is time for him
to be honest and unreserved.

The rule on emails is applied by every IT security conscious person in
the world. If it is confidential, don't send it by email.

By the way, why were those emails so confidential that they decided to
erase them when they learned that they could be publicly requested to
divulge them in the case of a FOIA?

If you send an email from your enterprise server, it is not a personal
email, unless you explicitly mention it in the subject.

The content must have been very embarrassing, maybe even criminally
implicating.

Email transport goes mostly over secure protocols like TLS/SSL these
days (extremely difficult to intercept) but messages themselves are
usually stored unencrypted on servers, which can either be hacked or
copied by inside whistleblowers. The best policy is to assume you will
get hacked and just not send sensitive information by email, or encrypt
the actual content.

Climategate was probably the single most damaging event to ever happen
to the climate alarm movement. The best thing about having access to
the actual emails is the public can make up its own mind. You can see
the impact of Climategate in Google Trends, public interest in global
warming crashed after December 2009:

Many emails are forwarded one way or another. You never know who,
finally, will receive a copy of your email.

The climategate email were certainly not private, they were sent by
employees by the email servers of their enterprises.

Gordo is well aware that, even if most of those emails were not illegal,

The emails raised serious doubts about the impartiality and sincerity of
the involved scientists. One of the most damaging revelations was that
cliques of scientists will conspire to suppress contradictory research
by corrupting the peer review process.

Sorry. You are not getting another investigation. Milloy was
investigated and we find that
Steven J. Milloy is a columnist for Fox News and a paid advocate for
Phillip Morris, ExxonMobil and other corporations. From the 1990s
until the end of 2005, he was an adjunct scholar at the libertarian
think tank the Cato Institute.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Steven_J._Milloy

"In January 2006, Paul D. Thacker, a journalist who specializes in
science, medicine and environmental topics, reported in The New
Republic that Milloy has received thousands of dollars in payments
from the Phillip Morris company since the early nineties, and that
NGOs controlled by Milloy have received large payments from ExxonMobil
[4]. A spokesperson for Fox News stated, "Fox News was unaware of
Milloy's connection with Philip Morris. Any affiliation he had should
have been disclosed."

No need for another investigation, the court of public opinion already

Explicitly mention it in the subject that the mail is private in order to
get fired more expeditiously?

I think that a curse directed against potential hackers might be vastly more
effective.

You should definitely apply for a job in IT security at any number of large
companies and institutions, with all your other talents (physics, languages)
you will become one of their most precious assets.

The emails are in the public domain, that means the public can read them
and form opinions about Mann and his work independent from any formal
investigation. This enables people to compare notes and make up their
own minds whether the investigations were superficial whitewashes or
not. The court of public opinion is where the major damage has been
done and there's nothing alarmists can do about it.

His work was based on inappropriate mathematical techniques, he relied on
invalid proxies. In his iconic graph, he relied on the now famous "Mike's
nature trick" to hide the decline. He rejected the requests of scientists
who wanted his data and his computer code to reproduce his work.

I just remind you of some obvious IT security rule. For your data

To try to reproduce the findings of a scientific paper is no harassment,
it is the base of the scientific method.

Read the IT security rules which prevail where you work. Generally, you
are entitled to make a reasonable use of your phone, your mails and your
web access for some private needs.

No. Security aware employees are the best line of defence against
potential threats.

Personally, I was shocked to discover that some of those scientists were
determined to tweak their findings to promote what they called their
"cause" (political aims).

"Mike, Rob,
Sounds like you guys have been busy doing good things for the cause."

"I would be most grateful if you would send a note of support for the
proposed Tyndall Centre should the three Research Councils involved

gives a very steady reading which varies by less than 3/10 of a part

to calculate the monthly averages that go into the famous 50-year

Well, well, well, this thread was about Michael Mann's emails, but you
tried one of those straw man fallacies. So no, no one denies that
temperatures climbed since the little ice age, and there is a strong
evidence that they were warmer several times in the past. Ancient Romans
and Greeks ate fishes and shells.

Your proof that CO2 is a problem relied on simulations from models. Those
same models have been proved unable to correctly forecast temperature
trends. The proof from those models has been invalidated at the 95%
level. CO2 is not a problem, just the opposite, energy is a solution. It
drives people out of poverty.

There is no lie there, just a brief statement of facts. A much more
detailed explanation can be found here:
http://www.rossmckitrick.com/uploads/4/8/0/8/4808045/hockey-stick-
retrospective.pdf
Quote:
"There are two key parts to the hockey stick-making machine. The first is
the principal components (PC) step, and the second is the least squares
(LS) fitting step.
[...]
Mann’s PC step was programmed incorrectly and created two weird effects in
how it handled data. First, if the underlying data set was mostly random
noise, but there was one hockey stick-shaped series in the group, the
flawed PC step would isolate it out, generate a hockey stick composite and
call it the dominant pattern, even if it was just a minor background
fluctuation."

I don't know who won and who lost. But the emails contain damning
evidence that the /team/ knew perfectly what they were doing when the hid

and used Mike's Nature trick.

In the present instance, they were not acting as scientists, but as
politicians devoted to their "cause". It is not a fault, but must be
known by any person who takes political decision based on the advice of
those persons. They were not neutral scientists, they were advocates for
a political cause. Since then, their hypothesis was disproved when the
models which exemplified them diverged from observation.
So they promoted their non-validated hypothesis to the level of a
scientific truth in order to forward their "cause". Maybe they had
excuses then, they supposed they were right. Those excuses don't hold any
more for you /now/.

There is no mountain, nor mole hill here, but elements of appreciation.
Those persons promoted their political activists' views, based on their
suppositions as scientists. The predictions based on those views
(hypothesis), represented by their models, are been shown unfit to
forecast temperature trends by a factor of 2 or 3 (200%-300% error). The
climategate emails are a invaluable insight into their political mindset.

There can be proofs that some hypothesis are false: those which are
unable to make valid forecasts.
The evidence that CO2 is a problem came from models. Since the time they
were used to make this prediction, 95% of those models proved to be
unable to forecast the future temperature trend. The suppositions made
using those model sets are invalidated by observations.

A course of geophysics with a specialisation in climate would be
interesting. A course in AGW , which presupposes some human guilt, is
approximately as useful as a course in astrology.

Climategate gave the world a peek into what goes on inside the climate

public trust in climate research was substantially eroded. Support for

To claim that Climategate wasn't highly damaging to the reputation of

Up until the 'release' I just ignored the global warming claims.
After the 'release' I have maintained that no matter what they call it
global warming, climate change or whatever it is its a crock and like
all the other 'scientific' crocks will die a natural death when reality
doesn't match the claims

Whistleblowing in order to expose noble cause corruption is ethically

There was no whisleblowing and 9 investigations on 2 continents found
that the scientists did nothing wrong.

Negative marketing works, take the koch brothers for instance, denialist arguments are negatively viewed when placed in the context of the greed of the koch family. The heartland institute is a tool for the industry, everybody knows that, along with the damage to the environment from bitumen spills, oil well blow outs, coal ash piles etc. The push back from you denialists needed some hacked emails, i can point to the images of environmental damage.

Climate activists remind me of Bridget Bardot attending a seal hunt
protest in a fur coat. One can apparently be enraged about animal skin
apparel while at the same time wearing animal skin apparel. Just
substitute animal skins for fossil fuels and you are Bridget Bardot.

It can be compared to 9/11 where damage was done by radicals .In the
case of 9/11 it was carried out in the name of religion while the
stolen emails were done in the name of greed. Stolen emails are old
news and few people even know what you are talking about.

The pathetic recollections from people like you often reveal a kind of nostalgic simplistic illogical representation of history. Usually this false representation is a simple manipulation of those who stand to lose by making a change, in this case from coal and fossil fuels to renewables. Greedy arguments put forth by people like you has many representations in history, stories on tv today and on stage years ago. Your type of greed is nothing new, its part of human natures worst side.

That brings up a good question: are there *ANY* scientists who believe
"climategate" happened?

There seem to be quite a number of them, one example:
http://judithcurry.com/2014/12/01/the-legacy-of-climategate-5-years-later/

"I’ve been in touch all week with Judith Curry, a seasoned climate
scientist at Georgia Tech with a particular focus on hurricanes and
warming. She has no skepticism about a growing human influence on
climate. But she has split with many of her peers and frequently engages
a certain batch of climate skeptics (most notably Stephen McIntyre). She
says she’s deeply troubled by the tribal nature of some subsets of the
climate science community and what she sees as ill-advised stonewalling
on releasing data and interpretations of data for review and independent
analysis. "

The content of the FOIA.zip archive is here:
http://www.ecowho.com/foia.php

Here, for example, a mail from Neil Leary explicating the rules to use
non-peer reviewed sources for the IPCC reports, he had a better knowledge
of the rules than Mr. Pachaury.
http://www.ecowho.com/foia.php?file=3061.txt&search=peer+review
"Critically assess the quality and validity of the informtion you intend
to include in your chapter. Don't just cite results from non-peer reviewed
sources without assessing their quality and validity. "

Maybe you should follow this rule too. Before posting hastily in this
group, you could (you should) critically assess the quality of the
information you intend to forward to the group.

Greed? what will I get if I succeed exposing how hysterical AGW fear is?
Nothing. You have a political agenda (a US political agenda). I have none.

Laughing, would not expect you to be honest, nor am in interested in your personal investments or the industries you represent in court. Your political agenda floats with the winds of profits, kind of like when investors rally because a company has reduced its outgo by laying off workers. Its nothing new, the worst part of human nature, greed.

Personal investments? Industries I represent in court? Which industry?
Which court? Can you make your fabrications more explicit?

I don't understand your rantings. You are so vague. Can you be a bit
clearer?
