(Surprise!)
As I clearly showed earlier, the Hockey Stick has been proven to be a fraud. Got that: A FRAUD! that is why the latest IPCC report did not post it in the report. It's A FRAUD!

I have more if you are too lazy to back track to my earlier post.

Oh, and typical 'boiler plate' innuendo. If any group takes money from any group, it is used against them, regardless the facts. As the saying goes, if you can't refute the evidence, you demonize the character of the messenger. But it is perfectly alright for your guys to take FAR MORE from the government, which has been forced from the citizen's back pockets, in order to pay for all this scare tactics.

Typical of the Left, because you are into "feelings" instead of "Logic". Is anyone surprised?

"As long as they think it works and they've got unlimited money to perpetuate their disinformation campaign," Mann believes, "I imagine it will go on, just as it went on for years and years with tobacco until it was no longer tenable--in fact, it became perjurable to get up in a public forum and claim that there was no science" behind the health hazards of smoking.

As part of his hockey-stick defense, Mann co-founded with Schmidt a Weblog called RealClimate (RealClimate). Started in December 2004, the site has nine active scientists, who have attracted the attention of the blog cognoscenti for their writings, including critiques of Michael Crichton's State of Fear, a novel that uses charts and references to argue against anthropogenic warming. The blog is not a bypass of the ordinary channels of scientific communication, Mann explains, but "a resource where the public can go to see what actual scientists working in the field have to say about the latest issues."

Mann is upset because he has been exposed by other scientists, and doesn't like for his ox being gored. Nice try you genius. Must be all that cold weather you have been having to go through up there in western Canada, right?
