But the Penn State inquiry board said the term “trick” is used by scientists and mathematicians to refer to an insight that solves a problem. “The so-called ‘trick’ was nothing more than a statistical method used to bring two or more different kinds of data sets together in a legitimate fashion by a technique that has been reviewed by a broad array of peers in the field,” the panel said.

Also there is the "Journal of Irreproducible Results" article on how to choose the right type of graph paper to produce the results you want (random data can be made to appear linear with circular graphs, runaway numbers level off with logrithmic paper, etc.).

“...faith in the science of climate change...”

Great way to put it! Global warming is a faith. The real damage is what global warming is doing to science.

It’s a trillion dollar scam. The grifters can skim a lot off of that as Western wealth is funneled to Third World dictatorship in the name of global “equality” for St. Gaia.

“....a second panel will convene to determine whether his behavior undermined public faith in the science of climate change, the university said Wednesday.”

Does this have the smell of a religious inquiry for spreading heretical beliefs to anyone besides me?

"An academic board of inquiry has largely cleared a noted Pennsylvania State University climatologist of scientific misconduct"

"faculty board did not look into the science of climate change itself, the university said in announcing its results."

Oh Please! If they didn't look into the science, then how could they clear the man of cheating the science?

Looks like just another fraud and hoax against the public is being covered up with cow dooky.

"public faith in the science of climate change"

indeed, this sounds like the Grand Inquisitor seeking to stop anyone or anything that could be seen as a threat to the "public faith"

how about whether Michael Mann spoke and behaved so as to undermine the public RESPECT for the practices of scientists per se..... or look at how he is revealed in his own emails and those of his close friendly colleagues to be a total embarrassment to the proper pursuit of scientific learning???

The plural of IPCC reports is not data.

I asked very specific questions.

You reacted to this news, so I inferred that you disagree with the findings. I asked which.

For example, he provided the data that some had claimed he'd destroyed. Should he have been found guilty anyway?!?

I hold Dr. Mann in extremely low regard, yet I concur with the findings on this group of the charges.
