National Review Online (NRO) is currently running an ad/article explaining that Professor Michael Mann, the creator of the highly questionable "hockey stick" graph that global warming alarmists latched onto to pummel the entire world with dour warnings about the effects of man-made CO2 emissions on life as we know it, is suing NRO and Mark Steyn for defamation of character:
********
"Let me recap: A lawsuit has been formally filed by Professor Michael Mann against National Review and Mark Steyn. You know Mann: The Penn State academic and self-proclaimed (and bogus) Nobel Peace Prize awardee best known, famously and infamously, for the "hockey stick" graph that allegedly proves that recent years were the hottest on record for more than a millennium.

I just skimmed it without study. He certainly claims, more than, once that he shares a Nobel Prize. He also claims that his "Hockey Stick" chart is accurate. It seems simple to me that a single data point showing it's not true will exonerate Steyn and NRO. I believe there are thousands of reputable references that can prove that.
