I hope the DA and the courts nail these junk science grant hustlers.
Funny, I could swear Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann was on the Penn State faculty.
He is. But he was teaching at UVa 1999-2005.
The two GRACE gravimetric satellites can tell if there's "mass" movement or relocation anywhere on Earth's surface. Whether it's just magma moving from one chamber to another in a volcanic region, or cratons rebounding from the last 20 ice ages, or ice melting from Greenland, Antarctica, glaciated mountains, the Arctic coast, those satellites can detect and measure it ~ but they can't tell the difference between magma and ice.
All the stories of mountain glaciers melting have been based on reports generated from data sent from those two GRACE satellites.
All the stories are false. With the next glacial period 5,000 years OVERDUE, rebounding has continued, so there's a lot of magma flow, and rebounding continental mass, and very little in the way of normal increase in ice mass ~ which will, of course, change the century we switch over to "next ice age".
There's really very little ice melting at all.
Mann DISTORTED his climatological prediction models to account for melting ice (which didn't really exist) with increased temperatures (which didn't really exist either).
He was either too IGNANT to know that there are several other reasons for moving mass to be measured, or he knew, but didn't care!
You don't get the big bucks with the big grants by predicting a 2 inch rise in the Canadian Shield!
