Since facts don’t matter in the global warming debate, this won’t matter either. But this is from a post at Powerline titled, MICHAEL MANN IS A LIAR AND A CHEAT. HERE’S WHY. See the diagram? This is the text that goes with it:

The figure on the left is a blow-up of the far-right portion of the dramatic hockey stick diagram as it was featured in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report. It purports to show steeply rising temperatures in the latter portion of the 20th century. The green line represents Keith Briffa’s tree ring data. Note how it discreetly disappears behind the other lines. The graphic on the right shows Briffa’s data as it actually existed. The later decades of Briffa’s data, showing a sharp decline in temperature after 1960, were simply cut out in the diagram as published by the IPCC.

There is clearly no fighting it any more. I’ll just have to go and see if I can get a grant.
