Michael Mann, Penn State University meteorology professor, said Climategate is an attack on man-made global warming scientists.
"I think it is unfortunate that some scientists out there are using this situation to settle personal scores, to settle a vendetta," Mann said, in an exclusive interview with AccuWeather.com's Katie Fehlinger.
Mann said that the e-mail leak happened just in time for the Dec. 7, 2009, United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, where world leaders, including President Obama, hope to come to an agreement on a framework for future international climate change mitigation.
"It is not a coincidence... that this event happened in the weeks leading up to the summit in Copenhagen," said Mann. "They've taken scientists' words and phrases and quoted them out of context, completely misrepresenting what they were saying."
Despite skepticism, Mann insisted that global warming is real.
"My main interest right now is to make sure that this manufactured controversy does not distract policy makers," said Mann.

Interesting to watch this scandal play out. We’re in the “Deny and Smear Your Accuser” phase right now. Reminds me of the good ol’ days when Dan Rather insisted that the Bush ANG documents were “authentic”, and we all know how that played out.

Hmmmm... who would be seeking a “vendetta”?
Maybe those scientist who were actually interested in the truth and got black balled for it?

Mr. Mann, besides being a F-bone, you’ve been caught big time in your little insetuous AGW scandal. I liken you to Tiger, lots of short term fun and pleasure but the payback is gonna be a REAL BITCH.

Hide The Decline - Climategate
Mann is already an object of derision and his esteem destroyed. He won’t have much trouble transitioning to becoming a prison wife.

Imagine the giant media party if e-mails among churches said, “GOD is not real and we know it”.

Does anyone else find Mr. Mann's protestations of innocence vaguely reminiscent of Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook" speech?
