While a math undergrad, I studied nonlinear analysis under one of McKitrick's collaborators - the most hard-assed, no-nonsense professor I ever came across (which means something in math/physics). He did not suffer fools gladly, had ZERO patience for BS, and did not mince words. As an avowed leftist at the time, I hated his guts.

I only know some of these other characters in the context of their colloquia I was fortunate enough to attend, and from reading articles such as Geophysical Research Letters, Vol 32(3), Feb 12 2005, DOI:10.1029/2004GL021750, but can tell that they are not activists in any way. Nothing in tone or methodology about their research here differs from their less politically charged research.

Excellent article. I find it rather amusing that none of the anthropogenic causes of GW/CC stand up to genuine critical scrutiny.

As for those who are constantly trumpetting about our imminent demise, I refer to the Mediots as the "High Priests" of the "Church of the Perpetually Panicked".

We all know who the "Gore-acle" is.

EPA's Climate Change Site offers comprehensive information on the issue of climate change in a way that is accessible and meaningful to all parts of society – communities, individuals, business, states and localities, and governments.

Report Indicates Global Warming May Be Worse than We Think

Two new reports indicate that the global warming problem may be more widespread than heretofore thought. One report from National Geographic News asserts that temperatures on both Earth and Mars have been rising. Data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey mission in 2005 disclosed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps” near Mars’ south pole are shrinking.

The other report indicates that cosmic rays from exploded stars are decreasing. This is causing fewer clouds to form and allowing more sunlight to hit the planet, raising temperatures.

Former vice-president and internationally acclaimed climate expert, Al Gore, cited the reports as further evidence in support of drastic action aimed at cooling the planet. “It was bad enough when just the Earth was affected, but now it looks like the entire solar system may be in danger,” Gore proclaimed. “There is no time to lose. We must act before it is too late.”

Gore suggested that a “global climate czar” be appointed from among a list of persons nominated for both an Academy Award and Nobel Prize for work on climate change. “We need someone with the authority to brush aside the barriers to immediate action,” Gore said. “We can’t afford to allow a nostalgic reverence for archaic notions of property rights and individual freedom to be used to block the steps necessary to save the Earth. Everything and everyone must be strictly controlled if we want there to be a planet here for our grandchildren.”

An excellent post...It is a shame that science has been corrupted by political agendas.

I have seen a previous article discrediting the Mann report, but Card does an excellent of deconstructing Mann's alleged research.

It is astonishing to me that these shysters keep showing up. One falsified report on DDT has cost the lives of millions worldwide due to mosquitoes. Until we stop buying into the claims of these nutjobs who refuse to verify or justify their fraudulent claims, we will continue to be taken in by the "single report" whack jobs.

Card is owed a large "thanks" for a clearly written, concise article that solidly describes how Mann arrived at his "Hockey Stick" graph.

The EPA scientists are liers on "global warming".

They say, on the official EPA website:

"Warming is now occurring over most of the globe".

But the fact is that the average global temperature peaked in 1998, nine years ago, and has not gone any higher since, in spite of all addtional man-made CO2.

The C02 gambit is a speculative scam predicting its own answer on data meant to conform to a theory, not data objectively independent of that theory.

Yes it is a shame. Political ideologies have no place in the basic science. We need fact-based, objective science to tell us what the situation is -- the politics should be reserved for what to do about the situation.

The EPA scientists are liers on "global warming".

So that would mean NOAA and NASA are also lier's? Are you suggesting this is a massive government conspiracy?

I am saying that many EPA "scientists" and/or science writers for the EPA website are making statements that are factually false, and I pointed out just the first one that I noticed.

It said, as I repeat it for you:

"Warming is now occurring over most of the globe".

But the fact is that the average global temperature peaked in 1998, nine years ago, and has not gone any higher since, in spite of all additional man-made CO2.

"Warming" can be going on in many different places around the globe, even when the average temperature for the whole world is declining; because it is always "warming" somewhere and always "cooling" somewhere else.

But, if it were "now" warming "over most of the globe" (more places than not), then the global average should be "warming" as well. That global average has not "warmed" since 1998; ergo it is not "warming" over "most of the globe" "now".

That EPA statement is a lie.

Apparently many EPA and EPA affiliated people have the religion of "man-made global warming" in their hearts, not science in their minds.
