Mark Steyn's A Disgrace to the Profession is a must read. He renders the Hockey Stick of Micheal E Mann, and the entire team who ardently defends it, even after 11 years of it being revealed as a nonsense, and a deceitful fraud, a laughingstock. According to the Warm Cult, the Middle Ages did not experience a warming epoch in which High Middle Age culture flourished [900-1300]; nor did it experience an Ice Age in which death, famine, wars, struggles and social discord prevailed [1350-1750].  Climate never changed until the 20th century, when thanks to plant food emission increases, Gaia became feverishly ill. 

If you believe that climatology is about science, truth, or saving the Goddess Gaia, you are either mentally unfit, naive, or have had a lobotomy [or perhaps all 3]. You need to read this book, to get better.

Steyn pens a compendium of over 100 Phds [appeal to authority], researchers and 'scientists', involved in climatology, or the metaphysical theological enterprise called 'Climate Change'. Since humans have a very poor understanding of climate, its factors, its causation's, its complexity and many-to-many-variable relationships, its convection flow, or even cosmic influences on the 'changing climate'; it stands to reason that a small cabal of climate theologians, committing data fraud, statistical fraud, and scientific fraud, are and would be, a disgrace to their metaphysical profession.

Even worse, this small group of self-interested money and fame seekers, who are used by the UN IPCC and Western governments to further their fear mongering over globaloneywarming; are pilloried by these 100 Phds and scientists, due to the obvious unscientific methods, data manipulation, data errors, incongruencies and outright immorality, embedded in their Hockey Stick. Many of these Phds badly state that Mann et al are a disgrace and should be disbarred from any further investigations into science, using 'paleo climatology', or the use of tree rings, ice cores and other artifacts which supposedly tell us about climate 1000 or more years ago [they don't].

“...global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS [American Physics Society] before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist.

....Roman and Medieval Warm Periods were both warmer than the Current Warm Period has been to date, (2) the “beginning of the end” of the Little Ice Age was somewhere in the vicinity of 1830, and (3) the Current Warm Period peaked somewhere in the vicinity of1940.

.....studies by over 750 scientists from over 450 research institutions in over 40 countries that have found a Medieval Warm Period of between 0.1° and 3.2°C warmer than today in every corner of the globe245 - from Alaska to South Africa, Morocco to New Zealand, Bolivia to China, Egypt to New Guinea… Everywhere they look for it, they find it. But when it’s all processed into Mike’s worldwide paleoproxypalooza, it vanishes every time - and don’t you dare question it, because Mike’s whole is always greater than the sum of everybody else’s parts.”

Steyn is in a court case with King Mann the Hockey Stick promoter. All the judge has to do is to read this book, and the next volume due later this year, to understand that there is no science involved in the Hockey Stick, or the lurid claims of the warm cult. Just propaganda, lies, bad software code, statistical fraud and the fact that as Steyn states, Mann's entire premise of the blade of the 20^th century showing a rise in temperatures after 1000 years of flat temperatures, is based on 2 bristlecone pine trees in the Western US, and 1 cedar in Quebec Canada. Steyn relates why tree rings do not correlate with Co2 [plant food], and why you can't build a climate picture from them. Mann et al know this, but ignore the obvious difficulties with tree rings. Hence Steyn's moniker 'Tree Ring Circus'. It is not science, whatever it is.

“Mann’s work is junk science, bad science, pseudo science, pathological science - or “brazen fraud”. But there’s not a lot of people willing to defend it as “good climatescience”.

No kidding. No one defends Mann, except the media and political establishment, invested as they are in catastrophic man-caused globaloneywarming.

Mann et al should be in jail.
