This is a man who was little known by most people around the world, until recently. On the other hand, his contribution(s) to the global warming/climate change hoax is much better known.
Michael Mann is the one credited with creating the now infamous “hockey stick graph”, that the Reverend Algore of the Gormon church used to great alarming effect in his widely discredited movie “An Inconvenient Truth,” and it was this “hockey stick graph” that was the first aspect of the man-made global warming hoax to be exposed.
One thing needs to be cleared up on the matter of the emails. The CRU wasn’t hacked, but a whistle-blower may have released them. In any event, they weren’t illegally obtained, as much as the global warming alarmist wish for us to believe.
In fact, the file containing the emails had been assembled by CRU staff in preparation for compliance with a Freedom of Information request. The file was then stored in a publicly accessible portion of the CRU computer network — making it just a matter of time before someone discovered it. Why the file was so stored may never be known, but that’s not really what’s important.
Nothing illegal or unethical was done to affect the file’s release.
Moving on.
Climategate’s Perry Mason Moment.
Also, a reporter at the BBC received the exact same file back in mid October, and the BBC suppressed it.
As the emails from the Climategate scandal have been revealed, and the words and actions of the alleged scientists exposed, Michael Mann is in for much more than fifteen minutes of fame, or infamy.
Here is a sample of some of what this Man(n) had to say to his fellow peer reviewers:
(concerning withholding information from dissenters)
“don’t pass it along where it may get into the hands of the wrong people.”
(asking other scientists not to share information)
“So please don’t pass this along to others without checking w/ me first. This is the sort of “dirty laundry” one doesn’t want to fall into the hands of those who might potentially try to distort things.”
The emails he received from Phil Jones of the CRU are much more damning, and fodder for a future post.
Additionally, the original raw data used by Mann, and the other hoaxsters at the CRU, have been erased from their files, and the only data retained is that which has been altered by these men.
In this piece, The Dog Ate Global Warming, it was first revealed that the data was erased.
Since the 1980s, we have merged the data we have received into existing series or begun new ones, so it is impossible to say if all stations within a particular country or if all of an individual record should be freely available. Data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites, only the station series after adjustment for homogeneity issues. We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (i.e., quality controlled and homogenized) data.
The removal of that raw data has since been confirmed by the London Times Online.
Subsequently, Mann’s involvement in this criminal enterprise has drawn the scorn of many members of the Penn State Alumni Association, and PSU has announced they will be conducting an investigation of this esteemed member of their institution.
Here is the statement from PSU in pdf.
To add to his infamy I conclude with a little song and dance, featuring Michael Mann and Algore.

HUMANISM’s self-chosen liberal disability
Deterministic systems, ideological symbols of abdication
by man from his natural role as earth’s Choicemaker,
inevitably degenerate into collectivism; the negation of
singularity, they become a conglomerate plural-based
system of measuring human value. Blunting an awareness
of diversity, blurring alternatives, and limiting the
selective creative process, they are self-relegated to
a passive and circular regression.
Tampering with man’s selective nature endangers his
survival for it would render him impotent and obsolete
by denying the tools of variety, individuality,
perception, criteria, selectivity, and progress.
Coercive attempts produce revulsion, for such acts
are contrary to an indeterminate nature and nature’s
indeterminate off-spring, man the Choicemaker.
Until the oppressors discover that wisdom only just
begins with a respectful acknowledgment of The Creator,
The Creation, and The Choicemaker, they will be ever
learning but never coming to a knowledge of the truth.
The rejection of Creator-initiated standards relegates
the mind of man to its own primitive, empirical, and
delimited devices. It is thus that the human intellect
cannot ascend and function at any level higher than the
criteria by which it perceives and measures values.
Additionally, such rejection of transcendent criteria
self-denies man the vision and foresight essential to
decision-making for survival and progression. He is left,
instead, with the redundant wreckage of expensive hind-
sight, including human institutions characterized by
averages, mediocrity, and regression.
Humanism, mired in the circular and mundane egocentric
predicament, is ill-equipped to produce transcendent
criteria. Evidenced by those who do not perceive
superiority and thus find themselves beset by the shifting
winds of the carnal-ego; i.e., moods, feelings, desires,
appetites, etc., the mind becomes subordinate: a mere
device for excuse-making and rationalizing self-justifica-
tion.
The carnal-ego rejects criteria and self-discipline for such
instruments are tools of the mind and the attitude. The
appetites of the flesh have no need of standards for at the
point of contention standards are perceived as alien, re-
strictive, and inhibiting. Yet, the very survival of our
physical nature itself depends upon a maintained sover-
eignty of the mind and of the spirit.
It remained, therefore, to the initiative of a personal
and living Creator to traverse the human horizon and
fill the vast void of human ignorance with an intelli-
gent and definitive faith. Man is thus afforded the
prime tool of the intellect – a Transcendent Standard
by which he may measure values in experience, anticipate
results, and make enlightened and visionary choices.
Only the unique and superior God-man Person can deserved-
ly displace the ego-person from his predicament and free
the individual to measure values and choose in a more
excellent way. That sublime Person was indicated in the
words of the prophet Amos, “…said the Lord, Behold,
I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel.”
Y’shua Mashiyach Jesus said, “If I be lifted up I will
draw all men unto myself.”
As long as some choose to abdicate their personal reality
and submit to the delusions of humanism, determinism, and
collectivism, just so long will they be subject and re-
acting only, to be tossed by every impulse emanating from
others. Those who abdicate such reality may, in perfect
justice, find themselves weighed in the balances of their
own choosing.
“No one is smarter than their criteria.”

Thanks for dropping by, Jim.
This “controversy” is such a crock of shit
GO ahead and keep your head buried, Pat. We’ll keep reality warm while you’re away…
I see
PatMohammed had another copy and paste moment.Here is another.

Based on what, me ROTFLMAO?
No, based on your anger.
I get it, if I disagree with your ideas or idols, I’m the one that’s angry.
How cute.
The pathology of liberalism defined.
NO2LIBERALS is so angry.
Also – if there were any picture to describe the state of America right now, here it is -
Actually, this picture is more accurate.

Jesus Christ that picture sure tells the truth.
Fucking Bush III up there tonight, shouting about terrorism.
Give me a break.
Calling him Bush III is absurd, but considering the source, one should not expect anything else.
The short career of B-HØ is based on being the opposite of W.
NO2LIBERALS -
His political career WAS based on being anti-Bush.
Now, that he is in office he has turned to, for lack of a better term, “Bush III.”
His only accomplishments thus far -
- Extend Bush tax cuts
- (Apparently) sending 40(or 30) thousand more men to die.
- Expected to extend the Patriot Act in the next few weeks.
You are overlooking all of his other accomplishments and non-accomplishments. Such as his apologize to the world tour, funding abortions, tripling the national deficit in 9 months, doubling unemployment, etc.
As for extending Bush’s tax cuts, no he hasn’t, and he won’t, a fact that most haven’t realized.
He should have sent what the Gen. needed as soon as he asked, not wait more than three months, and he should have done so from the Oval Office, and not using West Point for his agitprop.
The patriot act needs to be extended.
But nobody bows better. So at least he has that going for him.
You’re right, bar.
Even his bow to the president of the ChiComms showed the proper deference of a Quisling radical Marxist.
What anger?
For clarification purposes, Ryan and Stephen were posting from the same ip addresses.
Sock puppets or co-cellar dwellers? Whatever you decide, it still spells a double dose of dumb-asses.
Bush III indeed.
You must live in the basement with Ryan and Stephen.
BUSH III!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!
HOW PERFECT!
Yep, he/she/it does…same ip.
