Is it a coincidence that Michael Mann FAKED the Hockey Stick graph and THEN was in the middle of Climategate?
Michael Mann developed the Hockey Stick Chart that the alarmists loved, but it was proven to have been FAKED, with "a fundamental mathematical flaw in the computer program that was used to produce the hockey stick. ... This improper normalization procedure tends to emphasize any data that do have the hockey stick shape, and to suppress all data that do not."

His name then pops up in the middle of Climategate with his now famous "hide the decline" remark, intending to cover up the alarmists' inability to explain the recent COOLING of the atmosphere... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F3nrkQ9zJA
How do you think those two events could be related?
Crown.. the glaciers and ice caps began melting in the 1800s.... 'splain how THAT is due to GW? ARGUMENT FAIL!
Boss.... GW has NOTHING to do with pollution.. CO2 is NECESSARY for life on earth.. STRAW MAN - ARGUMENT FAIL!
America - his formulas were FAKED... ALINSKY RIDICULE - ARGUMENT FAIL!
ithaca.... That Kool Aid is tasty, yes? Mann FAKED the equations for the hockey stick AND used a tiny sample to extact GLOBAL results... Sloppy science at the very best, but more likely simply FAKED! ARGUMENT FAIL!

No its no coincidence, Michael knew what he was doing and was highly paid for it as well, he's on the payroll is how they are related

Why do wing-nuts think everything is about Al Gore? Climategate isn't a storm to any SANE person on the planet; Global Climate Change was not an invention of Al Gore's, but is SCIENCE. (I know, wing-nuts reject reason and fact, and thus reject science, but I just wanted to point that out.) Even if ONE graph he used was wrong, what, exactly, should he face a hearing FOR? Why doesn't a well-known private citizen have the right to promote a cause?

*bangs head on desk* You don't understand statistics at all. Modeling data that takes information from multiple sources will always involve masking inconsistent data in order to make a visual representation. It's just how it works. You have to do it or else the graph is illegible. Scientists then describe the methods used to do that, provide ways to access the data used to make the graph, and all you have to do is look! The "hide the decline" remark has been so taken out of context that it bears no resemblance to what was being talked about: one period during one year did not match all of the data from the rest of that year and all of the years before and after it. They couldn't explain the source of the discrepancy and were therefore forced to assume that it was human error and set about trying to figure out that happened. Until you actually understand the scientific method you should just keep quiet about it.
Really?!?!?! He used a small sample of data to extrapolate global results... almost sounds like making a model or something. You really have nothing but two or three emails that when taken totally out of context (after being obtained illegally) make it appear that all of global warming is totally made up.
You've really never heard of something that in some amounts is good, but then too much is bad? I guess it's too much for you to comprehend.

Micheal Mann is a fraud and should be prosecuted for his fraud. He created the hockey stick by deleting any data that did not correspond with what he wanted to show. As a result of that fraud, billions of dollars have been wasted.
No, it is no surprise that a known fraud committed fraud a second time. Rather, it would be surprising had he not. It also would be surprising if his friends and associates were not also involved in fraud.

If the liberals and their pet scientist ever told the truth or used the scientific method. The shock would probably be too much and I would die of a heart attack. And there ain't even anything wrong with my heart.

Not at all. Literally 100% of the warmers' "scientists" positively refuse to comport with scientific method. They're paid to use sciency-sounding language to support a particular result so that's exactly what they do. That's quite literally ALL they do.

Not a coincidence...the man obviously has an agenda. Maybe you should work for the main stream media. They are obviously unable to do investigative journalism.
I just love the libs above trying to justify the lie!

You = FAIL
All Mann did was use actual temperature data when it was available instead of estimating it.
Another loony contard lie fall down go boom!

Can you believe that liberals blubbered their "proven science" BS based on this clown? It sure beat thinking for yourself.

Guess he faked the polar ice cap and Greenland glacier melting too? That bastard!!
