    Hockey Stick Graph Inventor Suffers Ignominious Court Rebuke

    Dr. Michael Mann, the purveyor of the most outrageous science hoax since the infamous Piltdown Man (which shares many of the same characteristics as this one), sued another scientist, Dr. Tim Ball, for criticizing his infamous “Hockey Stick” graph, when he (Ball) said the Penn State climate scientist “belongs in the state pen, not Penn. State” for his science transgressions. Mann’s suit was thrown out of court, when he refused to disclose any backup data used to invent his graph. After twenty years of demands and lawsuits to see the data by numerous skeptics and even the Virginia (where Mann first composed his hoax with state funds) Attorney General, Mann has uniformly refused to reveal his data.

    In Canada, where the suit against Canadian Ball occurred, the court has the discretion to award attorneys’ fees to the winner, which it apparently did in favor of Ball.

    A similar suit Mann has filed against writer Mark Steyn has dragged on for a decade here in the U.S. despite Steyn’s attempts to get it to trial every way he can.

    Real science, not the phony “consensus” version, requires open access to data, so that skeptics (who play a key role in science) can see if results are reproducible. Of course, there are no falsifiable experimental data associated with the global warming predictions of doom, so it doesn’t really stand as science as Karl Popper defined it
    The graph was first published in 1998, prominently featured in the 2001 UN Climate Report, and formed part of Al Gore’s 2006 movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
    Speaking of; I wonder what Al Gore has been up to lately?

    Well, you need someplace to put all that ketchup so that sounds about right.

    This article sums up better than I could the fraud of Michael “Piltdown” Mann and by extension the extensive process of NOAA to alter the temperature record —
