"A Disgrace To The Profession"

"A Disgrace To The Profession"
The World's Scientists, In Their Own Words, On Michael E Mann, His Hockey Stick And Their Damage To Science
Volume I
Compiled and edited by Mark Steyn, with illustrations by Josh

Do I expect you to publicly denounce the hockey stick as obvious drivel? Well, yes.
Jonathan Jones, Professor of Atomic and Laser Physics, University of Oxford

Michael Mann, Phil Jones and Stefan Rahmstorf should be barred ...because the scientific assessments in which they may take part are not credible anymore.
Eduardo Zorita, Senior Scientist at Germany's Institute for Coastal Research

Did Mann et al get it wrong? Yes, Mann et al got it wrong.
Simon Tett, Professor of Climate Science, University of Edinburgh

The defamation suit against Steyn by Michael E Mann, inventor of the global-warming "hockey stick", is about to enter its fourth year at the DC Superior Court - which means Mark has a lot of case research lying around and he can't wait forever for the trial to start. So he figured he'd put some of it in a new book, now available from SteynOnline.

In the fall of 2014, not a single amicus brief was filed on Dr Mann's behalf, not one. He claims he's "taking a stand for science", but evidently science is disinclined to take a stand for him.

That got Mark curious as to what actual scientists think of Mann, his famous hockey stick, and his other work. So he started looking - and the result is a rollicking collection of insights into Big Climate's chief enforcer by scientists from around the world, from Harvard to Helsinki, Prague to Princeton, with commentary from Steyn telling the story of the rise to global celebrity of one Mann and his stick.

Advance praise for Steyn's new book!

"Most people would refrain from adding fuel to the fire if being sued by someone for attacking them. Steyn, however, is not most people."
Daily Kos

"I’m thinking this is not going to be a very big book. Certainly not a very good one."
Greg Mann-Laden, Science Blogs

"Mark Steyn's genius legal gambit... Who’s to say what’s right or wrong, when your IQ could easily be the losing team’s score in a baseball game?"
Barry Bickmore, Climate Asylum

"A Disgrace To The Profession": The World's Scientists In Their Own Words On Michael E Mann, His Hockey Stick, And Their Damage To Science - Volume I will be available in print and eBook from Amazon and all the usual outlets this September, but you can make sure you're the first on your block with this must-read book by ordering your copy now exclusively from the SteynOnline bookstore for immediate shipping. And as always Mark will be happy to autograph it personally for you or your warm-mongering loved one.

You failed to answer my question ... how could Exxon researchers have known years before what the IPCC said it didn't know as late as 1990?
