For the past decade, scientists have come to the defense of Michael Mann, somehow thinking that defending Michael Mann is fighting against the ‘war on science’ and is standing up for academic freedom. Its time to let Michael Mann sink or swim on his own. Michael Mann is having all these problems because he chooses to try to muzzle people that are critical of Mann’s science, critical of Mann’s professional and personal behavior, and critical of Mann’s behavior as revealed in the climategate emails. All this has nothing to do with defending climate science or academic freedom.
The climate science field, and the broader community of academics, have received an enormous black eye as a result of defending the hockey stick and his behavior. Its time to increase the integrity of climate research particularly with regards to increasing transparency, calling out irresponsible advocacy, and truly promoting academic freedom so that scientists are free to pursue research without fear of recriminations from the gatekeepers and consensus police.

I only recently became aware of the Mann/UVA suit that is nearing a final ruling.

I wonder how many scientists are thinking "STFU Mann" as he increasingly because a parody and an object lesson on how not to behave on the interwebs.

Even if the “hockey stick” is wrong, it doesn’t mean climate is not changing. Having paid attention to climate and weather for 60 years, there definitely seem to be clear changes causing serious problems in some areas.
Steyn ping.
Someone should turn in Warman for hate speech.
He's the little Nazi who went after Free Dominion.
Open statement to Michael Mann - search for “Trofim Lysenko”.
