#2 The 1998 article by Mann only went back to 1400.

The 1999 article by Mann extended the graph back to 1000.

At one point I tried to figure out how many tree were part of the 1000-1400 extension of the curve but never was able to pin that down.

#3 Leaving aside that the "results" being reported from the distant past are subjectively arrived at - at best - totally pulled out Mann's backside (much more likely) what's that required by law disclaimer you see on ads for financial products? "Past performance is not indicative or predictive of future results..."

#4 Kind of ironic that the people who invented the term "climate deniers" claim to be on the side of rigorous statistical analysis of facts.

Maybe they should be called "math deniers"...

#5 The instant Mann said "I can't show you the data. You'll only try to find something wrong with it.", the scientific community should have tossed him out on his ass.

#6 He's either incompetent or a corrupt liar.
Or both.
PSU should have fired him long ago.

#8 Loser Pays would sort out a lot of the SLAPP and greenmail (pay up in settlement or we sue and cost you tons more in court whether we win or no) lawsuits.
