| ClimateGate's Michael Mann Received Stimulus Funds, Media Mum |
| 2010-01-15 |
| A scientist in the middle of the ClimateGate scandal received economic stimulus funds last June. As NewsBusters reported on November 28, Penn State University is investigating Professor Michael Mann, the creator of the discredited "Hockey Stick Graph," for his involvement in an international attempt to exaggerate and manipulate climate data in order to advance the myth of manmade global warming. According to the conservative think tank the National Center for Public Policy Research, Mann received $541,184 in economic stimulus funds last June to conduct climate change research. With this in mind, NCPPR issued a press release Thursday asking for these funds to be returned. |

| #4 Grants and funds to colleges and universities will continue to those who can advance 'their' agenda. Mann was merely giving them the information they wanted. (Skewed/fudged data). Nothing more than another bribe. |

| #2 Mann is at Penn St. The funds probably were for grad students and for himself to do research at that institution. |

| #1 Since he is in the UK... what are stimulus funds doing going to the UK? One of our co-workers looked into NSF stimulus money for his research but it said in bold highlighted paragraphs "All research must be done within the territory of the United States of America". His research population was in Central America so he didn't even attempt to file. If the gov agency that gave out these funds had a similar warning it would be a criminal offense to even apply for that money. |
