Watts Up With That?

Michael Mann: “I’m Not Owned! I’m Not Owned!!” – As He Shrinks into a Corn Cob​

Charles Rotter

November 3, 2025

Excerpt:

If you’ve been following the climate circus for as long as we have here at WUWT, you know that Michael Mann – the self-proclaimed guardian of the infamous “hockey stick” graph – has been skating on thin ice for years. Well, it looks like that ice just cracked wide open. According to a gleeful piece in the National Review titled “Michael Mann Finally Goes Away,” Mann has dropped his long-running defamation lawsuit against them after a whopping 12 years of legal clownery.

That’s right: the guy who threatened to “destroy” them is now slinking off into the sunset, tail between his legs, while their blog post calling his research “sketchy” and “intellectually bogus” remains proudly online for all to see.

Michael Mann?

I thought that was a character in Field of Dreams.

Never mind, that would be Terence Mann.

So, Mike did not "go the distance"?

Michael "Hockey Stick" Mann is still whining and being dismissed by courts? Gee, what a surprise.

I guess he thought everyone forgot about his Nature Trick and the Climate Gate emails. In case you need a refresher, here they are....


The Climategate Emails

The Lavoisier Group March 2010



Phil Jones to Ray Bradley, Mike Mann, Malcolm Hughes, Keith Briffa, and Tim Osborn, regarding a diagram for a World Meteorological Organization Statement: I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temperatures to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline:

"I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temperatures to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline."





Geoff Jenkins was head of climate change prediction at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, part of the United Kingdom’s Met(eorological) Office (national weather service). He writes to Phil Jones: Remember all the fun we had last year over 1995 global temperatures, with the early release of information (via Australia), “inventing” the December monthly value, letters to Nature, etc., etc.?

I simply would not like to see you write a paper that puts out a confused message with regard to the global warming debate, leaving ambiguity as to your opinion on the validity of the Mann curve (“the hockey stick”) ….


Following Phil Jones’s email of February 27, 2001 concerning referees of papers submitted to Science, Keith Briffa, a referee of a paper submitted to Science by Ed Cook and Jan Esper, tells Cook: I simply would not like to see you write a paper that puts out a confused message with regard to the global warming debate, leaving ambiguity as to your opinion on the validity of the Mann curve (“the hockey stick”) …

It used to be that anything unpleasant posted about Dr. Mann would bring in his defenders all over the thread, but now after his many losses and his pseudoscience quality papers been smashed a pile of crap there very few mann lemmings left to support the thin skinned dam fool!

Thank you for that long lost PDF now I can post it at my Earth Arena section of my forum.
