ClimateGate update: All about the Mann
Three items for you about Michael Mann, ClimateGate bully/eco-con artist…
1) First, watch the news report from Pennsylvania — where Mann is under investigation by Penn State:
Background from the Commonwealth Foundation. They’ve called for an independent investigation and expose Penn State’s conflicts of interests in the matter.
2) The Foundry flags Mann’s $514,000 stimulus windfall (via Mindy Belz at World Magazine).
3) The Philly Inquirer has a sympathetic profile of Mann. This American Thinker parody of Mann’s CYA is far more enlightening.

As Rush pointed out this grant shows the stimulus money is jsut an Obama slush fund for use by his cronies.
Flyoverman,
I believe that! There is too much money going to these type of people at the taxpayers expense.

514 thousand for 1.4 jobs. I think they should quit calling these green jobs, and instead call the blue. Mann probably needs to be tried for fraud.
Science should never be driven by political agendas, since it skews the results. Science is about the truth, not manipulation. Mann should be in trouble. His failure to release methodology was a clear indication that he was hiding something.
since when did dems care how much of other peoples money gets spent on their cronies. bribery has long been a tried and true democrat policy. from beer money in bars, walking around money in ghettos, grant money in academia, to dept of education money for teachers unions, paying off constituencies is part of the political landscape. democrats do it best because the media gives them a pass.
This whole mess makes me embarrassed to be a Penn State grad.
Thank God for Joe Paterno, however.

Promote my bullsh&t agenda and I’ll get you cash.
I would walk, but it’s been below 0 degrees every morning for the past 5 weeks. Too dang’d cold!!!! So much for gore-bull warming.
The back of my head is in the video!
I cut my own hair nice to see it is even HA
Matt and Stephen did a great job of speaking, my fav line from Stephen
was: the bonfire of the insanities
The mini hockey stick that was given to the legislators reads:
Mann-Made global warming why we should
be more worried about the intellectual climate.
MM has already posted the commonwealth foundation’s website so I won’t do again but they are a super group so if
you are otherside of the mountain wing them some $ to help stick it to the tools in harrisburg.
They all need to be tried for fraud. Just imagine if you petitioned the gov’t for a million dollars to perform a service that you never performed, yet took the money. And lied about what you were doing.
You’d be in jail. Which is where these people, Mann included for sure, should be. Once they are behind bars, the politicians need to be locked up as well.
We are being fleeced by these charlatans.
Global Warming is nothing more than…
The Biggest Bank Robbery in the History of Humanity.
Did NASA cause the decade-long rise of surface temperatures on MARS by sending the Viking and Phoenix missions there?
OMG, we’re exporting global warming!
“Mann-Made Global Warming”. Why didn’t I think of that?
I don’t know, Mister P. To me, $514 grand is some serious green.
Go to Dr. Michael Crichton’s website and read the text of his speeches, especially this one.
He has long held that politics has no place in science. Politics is consensus, science is reproducible results. They are NOT compatible with one another.
You have nothing to be embarrassed about. At least Penn State is investigating this fraud. When most of us think of Penn State we think of Paqterno, not Mann. You’re good.
Errah isn’t this the same guy who found an ancient snowshoe in the Sahara?
Jail time baby. This could lead to putting Gore and other Dems in the can for good. Crooks all.
I can’t even begin to say how much I disdain anyone corrupting science and fact. This is worst than bank robbery or Wall Street scams because these “eco” bastards were out to willfully steer the economic coursesf whole nations for their green “beliefs.” Throw them in jail for fifty years. You’d expect no less from someone who’d swindle you out of a home.

P.S.
Saw you on Glenn Beck today MM and the Freudian slip(?): “Malkin, Fox News contributor – oh, er, a columnist..” Gotta break out that blond dye, MM!!
Academic welfare is not working. Lazy, good for nothing, lying elitist “professors” will do and write anything to stay on that welfare gravy train. I say end academic welfare as it exist today. Who knows what other “settled science” (salt intake?) is just flat out wrong.
Phil,
well you woulda
both Stephen and Matt had fantastic lines/presentations.
that the penn state spokestool felt a need to respond says they fear us REAL AMERICANS
someone queue lyin eyes for me
WE are watchin YOU !
Mann, Gore and the East Anglia frauds should be beaten like fraternity pledges with hockey sticks.
Dim,
butt butt butt dont those greek boys like that sort of thing?
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band “Blinded by the light” makes sense now.
just fyi, you have to understand grant writing in an academic setting, as opposed to writing a grant for a non-profit or as a business endeavor. Most of the money goes to the school, not the researcher. (it could be that PennState has a special agreement with Prof Mann) Usually there is a particular person or department withing a university who specializes in grant writing. When you have a person that that has the talent to write successful grants and can bring home the gravy, you dont want to let them ever leave.
One of the secrets is that you never really quite get the full answer to what you are researching, which means you always need another grant so that you can research more
The professor is already a state employee so they are not usually permitted to make an additional income from their grants. The people that actually do the bulk of the work/research are the grad students and they are paid via a work-study or small stipend.
and @Dimsdale/@bansharia, we havent been able to hit pledges since the 80′s whether we liked it or not lol
Penn State grads need to let the university know that they’d better be very careful about risking its reputation with Mann.
If they white wash something which has already been determined to be a fraud, then there’s going to be trouble for the Penn State brand.
