Simberg wrote that Mann "could be said to be the Jerry Sandusky of climate science," referring to the former Penn State assistant football coach who was convicted of child sexual abuse. Steyn called Mann "the man behind the fraudulent climate-change 'hockey-stick' graph" -- the moniker for the graph that shows a spike in average global temperatures in the past 1000 years.
If Mann were a conservative and Steyn and Simberg were liberals, there would be nothing to see here, folks, nothing to see. Move along. Go home to the wife and kids.
