Michael Mann's hockey rink is falling apart. antarctic melt… from national geographic. nationalgeographic.com As the researchers lay in their tents at night, in the middle of a 4,000-mile arc of coastline that lacked a single permanent outpost, they heard loud pops and bangs coming from the ice. Each morning they saw new cracks, an inch wide and seemingly bottomless, cutting across its surface. During their five weeks of studying it, the ice under their boots thinned by another seven feet. Large swaths of West Antarctica are hemorrhaging ice these days. The warming has been the most dramatic on the Antarctic Peninsula, a spine of ice-cloaked mountains that reaches 700 miles up toward the tip of South America. Catching the powerful winds and ocean currents that swirl endlessly around Antarctica, the peninsula gets slammed with warm air and water from farther north. Average annual temperatures on its west side have risen nearly 5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1950—several times faster than the rest of the planet—and the winters have warmed an astonishing 9 degrees. Sea ice now forms only four months a year instead of seven

>> Yup; 30-some studies reproducing Mann, countless investigations saying, "nothing to see here", and still the myth that he's corruption personified persists. In the meantime, the hockey blade has become a few tenths longer. Perhaps; you and I won't settle that. But it doesn't change the fact that Mann has tried to defend a gimped up, UN-SCIENTIFIC process to defend his work. But that isn't the worst of it: The so-called "scientific" community supported him blindly even after it was entirely obvious that he had made serious mistakes. I'm not going to rehash it with you as we've discussed this before.
