Michael Mann first to be investigated in Climategate

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 - 18:23

It seems that the first person or "scientist" to go down from Climategate is Prof. Michael Mann from the Penn State University, one of the Universities that is part of this big climate scandal.

The Penn State administration is to investigate and take action if there's action needed. The emails show the prof. Michael Mann is part of this scam to twist the facts.

The university had the following to say:

 

 

Professor Michael Mann is a highly regarded member of the Penn State faculty conducting 

research on climate change.  Professor Mann’s research papers have been published in well respected 

peer-reviewed scientific journals.  In November 2005, Representative Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) 

requested that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) convene a panel of independent experts to 

investigate Professor Mann’s seminal 1999 reconstruction of the global surface temperature over the 

past 1,000 years.  The resulting 2006 report of the NAS panel 

(http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11676) concluded that Mann’s results were sound and 

has been subsequently supported by an array of evidence that includes additional large-scale surface 

temperature reconstructions.    

In recent days a lengthy file of emails has been made public.  Some of the questions raised 

through those emails may have been addressed already by the NAS investigation but others may not 

have been considered.  The University is looking into this matter further, following a well defined policy 

used in such cases.  No public discussion of the matter will occur while the University is reviewing the 

concerns that have been raised.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

The falsification of data and the conspiracy to commit same etc, constitutes serious criminal activity. Further, the granting of public funds for research warrants a federal investigation. I’m hoping the perpetrators, including possibly Professor Michael Mann, director of Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science Centre and a regular contributor to the popular climate science blog Real Climate, and their facilitators will be tracked down and prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows. — Michael Santomauro

I hope part of the investigation deals with his refusal to release raw data, source code and methods. You know the stuff that REAL SCIENTISTS DO ALL THE TIME.

Lets ask the folks at climeateaudit.org to provide some feedback. I'm M&M would have some input.

Hide the Decline -ClimateGate Lyrics:

Makin’ up data the old hard way
Fudgin the numbers day by day
Hiding the snow and the cold and a downward line
Hide the decline (hide the decline)

Michael Mann thinks he so smart
totally inventing the hockey stick chart
Hiding the snow and the cold and a downward line
Hide the decline (hide the decline)
Hide the decline (hide the decline)

Oh Climategate I think you have sealed your fate
I hope you do a lot of time, cuz what you did was such a crime
Hide the decline (hide the decline)
Hide the decline (hide the decline)

The tree ring data was very thin
you shoulda chopped more trees instead of hugging them.
Hiding the snow and the cold and a downward line
Hide the decline (hide the decline)

Oh Climategate I think you have sealed your fate
Well you know its a crime and hope you do a lot of time
Hide the decline (hide the decline)
Hide the decline (hide the decline)

The physics of light tell us that atmospheric carbon dioxide cannot trap heat, and cannot influence climate. That is all ye know, and all ye need to know: http://nov55.com/ntyg.html

Penn State forgot to mention that Mann's work was severley criticized in the Wegman Report to the US Congress.
