If scientific facts are on your side, why lie? Why fake the data and the charts?
If I'm trying to prove to you that water turns to vapor when heated, I don't have to fake the data and I don't have to lie and I don't have to cover up my experiments.
But if I'm trying to prove to you that the earth is flat, I would have to lie and fake the data?
That's exactly what Michael Mann did. He faked the data to try to show that the 1990s was the warmest decade in history. He lied and tried to eliminate from the climate record the well-documented medieval warming from 700 to 1300 AD, when temperatures were actually much warmer than now.
The temperature curve from 1000 to 1900 AD in Mann's chart is flat and then spikes up at current years. This is his famous hockey stick chart. The intent of the fakery was to demonstrate that human industrial activity caused the purported increase. The fakery was exposed by two Canadian scientists, McIntyre and McKitrick. McKitrick actually showed that Mann's computer program generated hockey-stick curves even when random data were inserted.

Climategate was soooo 4 years ago. Got anything current you'd like to talk about? Or perhaps you'd like to share some actual original thoughts or opinions? It's super-boring arguing with copy-paste robots.

Can't handle the truth? Typical.
The hockey stick hoax is alive and well.
Typical AGW alarmist... attack the post when you cannot refute the facts.
Ooops... Posting that old video wasn't very smart of you....
Muller is also not a climate scientist, he's a physicist, but he should have known better and I bet he wishes he had never done that video. Luckily, not long later, he organised the BEST group to do their own study and found:
Uh oh..... a 'hockey stick'. Confirming Mann's reconstruction. (as have about 20 or so reconstructions since Mann's 1998 paper) Which seems to have been ignored by the right-wing media.
Muller says:
When we began our study, we felt that skeptics had raised legitimate issues, and we didn't know what we'd find. Our results turned out to be close to those published by prior groups. We think that means that those groups had truly been very careful in their work, despite their inability to convince some skeptics of that. They managed to avoid bias in their data selection, homogenization and other corrections.
"CALL me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.
Our results show that the average temperature of the earth’s land has risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years, including an increase of one and a half degrees over the most recent 50 years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases."
Correct. When you have real science, you don't need to lie and change the data.
The hockey stick is all lies and altered data.
When you have real science you don't need to lie and change the data to try to trash the reputation of scientists and promote the agenda of Exxon Mobile and the Koch brothers.
The hockey stick conspiracy is all lies, misrepresented data and ad hominem attacks.

This has nothing to do with the BEST study, it has to do with the deceptive practices used to construct Mann's version. There is two sets of data spliced together presented as one, you're trying to justify lying to people.
