I\u2019ve received a text message from Ann McElhinney, Unreported Story Society<\/a>, it reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hello Old Friend, we\u2019re here in [Washington] DC, you\u2019ve been mentioned fondly by Mark [Steyn] in the court and I was remembering your kindness to us \u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ann is in DC, with her partner Phelim McAleer, covering Michael Mann\u2019s defamation trial against Mark Steyn; because Mark called the unfortunate hockey stick chart, that has become the cross of climate change delusion, a fraud.    Yes. A fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it may have been difficult for Conservative politicians, and others, to call it out as such (as fraud) at the time this nonsense historical temperature reconstruction was first published \u2013 in the journal\u00a0Nature<\/em>\u00a0back in 1998.\u00a0 There was an opportunity to do exactly this after the publication of emails between leading climate scientists as part of the Climategate saga.\u00a0 Most importantly there is opportunity to call it out now, with all the evidence that is being presented at the defamation trial of Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOIA is a recognised shorthand for Freedom of Information Act. Legislation by this name has existed in the USA since 1966, Australia since 1982 and the UK legislation was introduced in 2000. It was climate scientists at the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, conspiring to evade the UK FOIA that inspired Climategate, with Mr FOIA, as the \u2018whistle blower\u2019 likes to calls himself, releasing over 220,000 documents and emails beginning in November 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an email sometime later he explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The circus was about to arrive in Copenhagen. Later on it could be too late.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

By circus he is referring to a get together of governments from around the world, under the direction of the United Nation\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).  He wanted to let it be known that leading climate scientists at that very meeting, knew that key supporting evidence was unreliable; that the famous hockey stick chart had been created by using Mike\u2019s trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, by providing public access to emails and documents from leading climate scientists, Mr FOIA exposed how tricks, adjustments, and corrections, were routinely applied to climate data to support the propaganda of the largely government-funded (with your taxes) global warming industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interpretation of the chart, and what this data looks like before and after Michael Mann\u2019s trick is applied, was shown in court, in Washington DC last week.   As part of the defence of Mark Steyn\u2019s co-accused, Rand Simberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It stars Prof. Richard Muller from UC Berkely explaining to his students why Michael Mann used the \u2018apple and banana\u2019 combination and how deceitful it is to boot.\u00a0 You can watch the YouTube here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
