It was used as a visual aid during Al Gore’s propaganda piece “An Inconvenient Truth”; the only problem is that was yet another simple case of garbage in, garbage out.

Mann’s “hockey stick” graph, first published in 1998, was featured prominently in the U.N. IPCC 2001 climate report. The graph showed a spike in global average temperature in the 20th Century after about 500 years of stability. Skeptics have long claimed Mann’s graph was fraudulent.

Climate change skeptic Dr. Tim Ball called Mann out and as we all know, liberals have no sense of humor when they’re the butt of the joke.

Professor Mann is a climate professor at Penn State University. Mann filed his action in 2010 for Ball’s allegedly libelous statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State.”

After years of lawsuits, bolstered by years of Mann’s failure and/or reluctance to offer his hockey stick-climate change research into a courtroom for scrutiny, his case was finally thrown out of court and Mann was required to pay Dr. Ball’s court costs. In reality, this is a VERY big deal, given the media, activist, political craziness that essentially arose from bad data.

In 2003 a Canadian study showed the “hockey stick” curve “is primarily an artifact of poor data handling, obsolete data and incorrect calculation of principal components.” When the data was corrected it showed a warm period in the 15th Century that exceeded the warmth of the 20th Century.

Whoops.

And Dr. Ball’s victory was not just a monetary price paid….

Dr Ball, now affirmed as a courageous champion of honest science, has assured his place in the annals of real climate science. His gift to the world was sacrificing eight of his senior years, when he could have been enjoying his retirement, to exposing key players in the biggest science fraud of all time.

How huge is this really?

Given the near total blackout of media coverage on this lawsuit resolution, like the Trump-Russia-collusion hoax, some people will never admit they were wrong, especially when millions of taxpayer dollars in the form of education and research grants are at stake. Let’s not even include the political rhetoric surrounding all things “climate change”. Too many people, colleges, laboratories, and activist dot orgs have much to lose should the world ever come to grips with the fact that a disproportionate few are eating quite well off lies.

In his own words, Dr. Tim Ball explains the genesis of the multiple failed lawsuits against him, the use of SLAPP lawsuits to silence any kind of dissent, the lie called that “97% consensus”, the origin and intent of the United Nations’ tyrannical Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the implications for the “climate change” debate, going forward.

Yet another Thank You to Dr. Ball for (as he has done for us many times over the last decade plus) generously giving us his valuable personal time to do what he’s always done best: teach.

This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
— Senator Barack Obama, 6/3/08

Rising oceans due to global warming has been, and continues to be a consistent talking point despite the varying and debatable causes; almost all that conveniently exclude the obvious: the Sun. But that didn’t stop over a million students from taking a time out in a mass hissy fit, to demand adults do something to save the planet; especially since a top expert has declared we only have 12 years before imminent doom.

The children spoke, Dr. Tim Ball had an opinion, it was short and probably not what they wanted to hear.

Dr. Ball believes we’re now living through the “final phase of the American Revolution”.

Yes, that was a teaser….

On December 3-4, you can endure slow-talking Al Gore and his eighth annual 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves, complete with certified has-beens, never-really-weres and on-the-way-outs like Sting & Shaggy, Moby, Jeff Goldblum & the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, the Goo Goo Dolls, David Crosby, Jaden Smith, Bill Nye, Téa Leoni, Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin, and a bunch of sanctimonious bureaucrats lecturing on what YOU should do to “save the planet”… things they exempt themselves of.

or…

You can spend an hour and 15 minutes watching one of all-time best, unapologetic, widely-attacked, yet most informative video productions on the topic; complete with experts; not emotional, funding-dependent academics and activists.

The Great Global Warming Swindle is still one the most controversial documentaries on the topic. Check out as much as you wish of Al Gore’s talk-a-thon and see which position on “climate change” and the dangers of C02 makes more sense to you.

Oh, and while they claim this is all about a “discussion”, Al Gore’s live YouTube stream has “disabled” chats AND comments.

This is no surprise.

See how much concern (or lack thereof) Gore shows for the plight of poor African nations he happily denies the opportunity to develop while his privileged Western neophyte devotees stream his live production on their iPhones.

In listening to the hysterics of the climate change believers, it’s not an acceptance of even the remote possibility that there may be other explanations for the change in the climate. It’s more the arrogant denial that, heaven forbid, there is even the slightest possibility that they may have been suckered and are thus, very wrong.

John Holdren, former Assistant to the President for Science and Technology under Obama, has successfully ping-ponged from the faculty lounge/nonprofit world to a presidential administration and back to the faculty lounge so he’s going to remain well fed. His concern for the future of his colleagues’ paychecks is steeped in the promotion of conclusions based on manipulated climate data used to suppress opposing scientific discussion.

One renowned scientist shared with us his candid opinion of Dr. Holdren and his brand of “science”.

This man is the personification of evil from his early days with Ehrlich and the promotion of eugenics, through his vicious attacks on Willie Soon, but especially Sally Baliunas when he was at Harvard to his use of. The White House authority to push false science like the incorrectly named Polar vortex, like it was something new. He is pure socialism from head to toe.
— Timothy Ball, Environmentalist

Bob freelanced as a video cameraman for a few gatherings at the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C. where nonprofits and colleges made their respective cases to acquire federal funding. The majority of their PowerPoint presentations were pleas to fund projects that saw no clear conclusions to their research, thus the funding required appeared to be open-ended.

We’re not implying that all of the taxpayer funding Holdren is in panic of the scientific community losing isn’t legitimate, but science is supposed to the quest for knowledge, not the suppressing of research that doesn’t reach a political conclusion, and in fact may expose science that’s been used to support the lavish lifestyles of progressive, self-appointed gurus.

A group of executives who want to fight global warming has published a new report calling for countries to spend up to $600 billion a year over the next two decades to boost green energy deployment and energy efficiency equipment. The Energy Transitions Commission’s (ETC) report claims “additional investments of around $300-$600 billion per annum do not pose a major macroeconomic challenge,” which they say will help the world meet the goals laid out in the Paris agreement.

ETC is made up of energy executives, activist leaders and investment bankers, including former Vice President Al Gore, who would no doubt get a piece of the trillions of dollars they are calling for.

We’re not sure if Gore’s involvement with carbon-credit-trader partners Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers is not the money maker it once was (seriously, what liberal really wants to pay for their own carbon footprint), but here we have yet ANOTHER nonprofit with no goal that will ever be met.

Legitimate science will always be funded through the traditional methods, philanthropy, academia, etc.

Scams require emotional fundraising techniques mastered by liberal career mill nonprofits, the entrenched and comfortable within the federal government now see their livelihood threatened because President Trump dares challenge the “settled science” of global cooling-turned-global warming-turned-climate change-turned-carbon crisis which will inevitably morph into something else once CO2 is again proved to be something natural that can’t be demonized for profit.

Be prepared for more hysterics as this is NOT about “science”.

It never really was.
