Michael Mann’s Tree-Ring Circus

By Daniel John Sobieski, AMERICAN THINKER

This has been a tough week for climate hustler Michael Mann, who lost his 
defamation and libel lawsuit against respected climatologist and warming 
skeptic Dr. Tim Ball at the same time it was announced by the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that there has been no U.S. 
warming since 2005.

Mann, who poses as a climatologist at Penn State, has had his court case 
against genuine climate scientist Dr. Tim Ball dismissed, with Mann ordered 
to pay court costs, for failure to produce supporting evidence to prove his 
claim that global temperatures took a sharp upward turn when the Industrial 
Revolution and fossil-fuel use began pouring CO2 emissions into the 
atmosphere.


He didn’t because he can’t, and the fact is that the global warning he 
speaks of is Mann-made, a fantasy based on a career of perpetrating climate 
fraud, as indicated by NOAA’s report that there hasn’t been any U.S. warming 
for nearly a decade and a half and maybe even beyond that. As noted by James 
Taylor, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center for Climate and 
Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute, in a piece for Real Clear 
Energy:

  When American climate alarmists claim to have witnessed the effects of 
global warming, they must be referring to a time beyond 14 years ago. That 
is because there has been no warming in the United States since at least 
2005, according to updated data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA).

  In January 2005, NOAA began recording temperatures at its newly built U.S. 
Climate Reference Network (USCRN). USCRN includes 114 pristinely maintained 
temperature stations spaced relatively uniformly across the lower 48 states. 
NOAA selected locations that were far away from urban and land-development 
impacts that might artificially taint temperature readings…

  There is also good reason to believe U.S. temperatures have not warmed at 
all since the 1930s. Raw temperature readings at the preexisting stations 
indicate temperatures are the same now as 80 years ago. All of the asserted 
U.S. warming since 1930 is the product of the controversial adjustments made 
to the raw data.

The use of properly positioned temperature recording stations coupled with 
satellite date, a relatively recent innovation that covers the whole earth, 
has given us a more realistic picture than computer models that can’t even 
predict the past and fraudulently manipulate raw data from dubious sources.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts documented the inaccuracy of old weather station 
data used by NASA on hisSurfaceStations.org website. Watts said that “90 
percent of them don’t meet (the government’s) old, simple rule called the 
‘100-foot rule” for keeping thermometers 100 feet or more from biasing 
influence.” Many of the U.S. stations were in locations such as paved 
driveways, near rooftop exhaust vents, even near idling jet engines.

In 2016, Mann testified before the Democratic Platform Drafting 
Committeethat actual data didn’t really matter because we could actually see 
climate change happening. The Washington Times noted both his appearance and 
at least one contradiction to his claims based, not on computer models, but 
on actual empirical observation:

  Leading climate doomsayer Michael Mann recently downplayed the importance 
of climate change science, telling Democrats that data and models 
“increasingly are unnecessary” because the impact is obvious…

  Mr. Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State 
University, spoke before the committee June 17 in Phoenix… Mr. Mann told the 
panel that “the signal of climate change is no longer subtle, it is 
 obvious,” citing hurricanes, flooding in Texas and South Carolina, the 
California drought and “record heat” in Arizona.

  Skeptics have hotly challenged the link between rising carbon dioxide 
levels in the atmosphere and “extreme weather” events, noting, for example, 
that hurricane activity is on the decline.

  A nine-year “hurricane drought” of Category 3 storms starting in 2006 beat 
the previous mark of eight years from 1861-1868, the longest such streak 
since such recording began in 1851, according to a May 2015 study by the 
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Mann has proven adept over his career at making controversial, no, 
fraudulent adjustments made to the raw data. Mann might be remembered as one 
of the participants in what Investor’s Business Daily dubbed a “tree-ring 
circus” — the Climategate scandal. As IBD noted at the time:

  Mann was at the heart of the Climate-gate scandal in 2009, when emails 
were unearthed from Britain’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University 
of East Anglia. In one email sent to Mann and others, CRU director Philip 
Jones speaks of the “trick” of filling in gaps of data in order to hide 
evidence of temperature decline:

  “I’ve just completed Mike’s nature trick of adding in the real temps to 
each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for 
Keith’s to hide the decline (in global temperatures),” the email read.

  It was that attempt to “hide the decline” through the manipulation of data 
that helped bring down the global warming house of cards.

  The graph created by professor Mann and his colleagues carefully selected 
and manipulated tree-ring data to supposedly prove that air temperatures had 
been stable for 900 years, then soared off the charts — in a pattern 
resembling a hockey stick — in the 20th century due to man-made greenhouse 
gases. Mann et al. performed the neat trick of making the Medieval Warm 
Period (about A.D. 800 to 1400) and the Little Ice Age (A.D. 1600 to 1850) 
statistically disappear.

As Investor’s Business Daily also noted:

  The graph relied on data from trees on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia. 
Here, too, the results were carefully selected. Just 12 trees from the 252 
cores in the CRU’s Yamal data set were used. A larger data set of 34 tree 
cores from the vicinity showed no dramatic recent warming, and warmer 
temperatures in the middle ages. They were not included.

“Hiding the decline” and any actual evidence that global warming hype was 
nothing more an attempt by climate change scammers to impose what has become 
a religion. MIT Professor Richard Lindzen is quoted in the Daily 
Callerquestioning the tenets of this new religion:

  Throughout history, governments have twisted science to suit a political 
agenda. Global warming is no different, according to Dr. Richard Lindzen of 
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

  “Global climate alarmism has been costly to society, and it has the 
potential to be vastly more costly. It has also been damaging to science, as 
scientists adjust both data and even theory to accommodate politically 
correct positions,” writes Lindzen in the fall 2013 issue of the Journal of 
American Physicians and Surgeons…

  Lindzen compares global warming to past politicized scientific movements: 
the eugenics movement in the early 20th Century and Lysenkoism in the Soviet 
Union under Stalin. However, the MIT professor argues that global warming 
goes even beyond what these past movements in terms of twisting science.

  “Global Warming has become a religion,” writes Lindzen. “A surprisingly 
large number of people seem to have concluded that all that gives meaning to 
their lives is the belief that they are saving the planet by paying 
attention to their carbon footprint.”

The goal is to use climate change as a means to increase government power 
over every aspect of our lives, what we make, how we make it, what energy we 
use, what cars we drive, even what food we eat. And now the high priests of 
the global warming religion are demanding what other false religions have 
demanded — human sacrifices upon their altar. As Michael Mann has found out, 
facts are stubborn things and tree rings don’t always ring true.
