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.

I think this version provides most of the instances in the movie where Meyers performs this type of presentation. It includes what I linked above. It runs about 3:25.

Mike: So how's the cover-up going?

Hey, thanks. I never thought of youtube.
My pleasure... take care.
his own words prove he is not an objective scientist, he’s an ACTIVIST!
Exactly correct. The hi-jacking of scientific theory for political and economic gain. The real scientists need to expose these fraudsters to kill this environmental religion once and for all.
mann should hang in the public square until dead... after a trial and conviction of course.

We need to work our a**es off to throw the congresscrooks (yes, from both parties, including RINOs who voted for crap and trade) out in 2010.
This lying sack is either a pathological liar or an evil Luddite basturd. Probably both
Mr. Mann, you’ll see a vendetta when you are forced to raise your hand and swear under oath. Happy trails.
If that was taken out of context I would like Mann to explain what POSSIBLE context there could be for the statement “hide the decline”.

Don’t remember seeing that one before. What is PTWAH...
I don’t think “Luddite” really describes them.
IIRC, a Luddite is one that wants to do away with technology.
These people want to do away with humans.
Maybe “Malthusian bass turd” would be a better description.
Yep, just checked - this is exactly who/what they are. They seek to limit population growth as it inhibits the progress toward utopia.
“They’ve taken scientists’ words and phrases and quoted them out of context, completely misrepresenting what they were saying.”
“A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
Lenin
Russian Communist politician & revolutionary (1870 - 1924)
PTWAH = Ping to watch at home. :)
