Climate Scientist in his Own Words: Dissecting the "Hide the Decline" Climate Gate Emails



More from our historic set of interviews at last year’s American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. In a tiny basement room, we set up cameras and recorded dozens of the most significant researchers from around the planet on the Story of the Millenium.

John Cook gave Michael Mann the chance to expand on the most famous of the widely distorted “climate gate” emails, containing the grossly distorted phrases “Mike’s Nature trick”, and “Hide the decline”.

protect their monopoly over our energy sources. They have the most money of all as a group other than the Wall Street banks. They are killing the future of us and our planet for profits and dividends!

no matter how skimpy in facts, research, evidence, to avoid doing something about our extinction. As always, however, Nature will have the last word.

led the creation of the "climate gate" bullshit- he yelled about it for days straight until the MSM relented and began repeating the crap- in time to sabotage obama and copenhagen.

and michael mann's penn state endorses 11 limbaugh stations!

here are 90 unis that broadcast sports on and bring community cred and ad revenue to 270 limbaugh stations- that 1/4 of the rw radio stations, and they do the bulk of the denial in this country.

environmentalists could kick ass if they protested these unis until they stopped endorsing rw radio- it could start with a few and many others would be shamed into following - advertisers would depart en masse, the monopoly would fall apart, and the biggest source of denial (and everything teabagger) would go broke.
