And look who is in the middle of this conspiracy to eliminate dissent
and supress free and open scientific discovery.

Michael "Mr. Hockey Stick" Mann.

This guy has done more damage to national economies than anybody else
in modern history.

He should be put in jail to rot forever.

How can these Lemmings ignore all the faked science? I just don't get
it, only because they are stuck on ideology?? Must be.

I honestly don't know why it happened. I think it's an unfortunate
confluence of science and politics - policy rather than procedure.

From what I know about Dr. Mann, he has always been a bit of a
eco-warrior and got carried away. He attracted the attention of Al
Gore who sensed an opportunity and like the snake oil salesman he's
always been, took advantage of it. And it snowballed from there -
grants were given, studies to be made, reputations to be protected,
taxes/revenue to be raised and applied, social engineering to be
accomplished for the protection of the masses.

I'm not saying that pollution isn't an issue, that eco systems don't
need to be protected, fish stocks replenished, research done on
non-fossil fuel energy delivery, etc. These are important issues, but
they've been lost in the great Global Warming Wars which, as it is
turning out, is a bogus crisis.

Hopefully we can start doing real research and science once this blows
over.
