You morons make me laugh. L. Ron Hubbard is more legitimate of a "scientist" than Micheal Mann is.
You're is a primitive religion that has nothing to do with science.
Obviously too is that L. Ron Hubbard ignores the English language.

Doctoral and postgraduate studies[edit]
Mann then attended
Yale University, intending to obtain a
PhD in physics, and received both an
MS and an
MPhil in physics in 1991. His interest was in theoretical
condensed matter physics but he found himself being pushed towards detailed semiconductor work. He looked at course options with a wider topic area, and was enthused by PhD adviser
Barry Saltzmanabout climate modelling and research. To try this out he spent the summer of 1991 assisting a
postdoctoral researcher in simulating the period of peak
Cretaceous warmth when
carbon dioxide levels were high, but fossils indicated most warming at the poles, with little warming in the tropics. Mann then joined the Yale Department of Geology and Geophysics, obtaining an MPhil in geology and geophysics in 1993. His research focused on natural variability and
climate oscillations. He worked with the seismologist
Jeffrey Park, and their joint research adapted a statistical method developed for identifying seismological oscillations to find various periodicities in the instrumental temperature record, the longest being about 60 to 80 years. The paper Mann and Park published in December 1994 came to similar conclusions to a study developed in parallel using different methodology and published in January of that year, which found what was later called the
Atlantic multidecadal oscillation.

In 1994, Mann participated as a graduate student in the inaugural workshop of the
National Center for Atmospheric Research's
Geophysical Statistics Project aimed at encouraging active collaboration between statisticians, climatologists and atmospheric scientists. Leading statisticians participated, including
Grace Wahba and
Arthur P. Dempster.

While still finishing his PhD research, Mann met UMass climate science professor
Raymond S. Bradley and began research in collaboration with him and Park. Their research used paleoclimate proxy data from Bradley's previous work and methods Mann had developed with Park, to find oscillations in the longer proxy records. "Global Interdecadal and Century-Scale Climate Oscillations During the Past Five Centuries" was published by
Nature in November 1995.

Another study by Mann and Park raised a minor technical issue with a climate model about human influence on climate change: this was published in 1996. In the context of controversy over the
IPCC Second Assessment Report the paper was praised by those opposed to action on climate change, and the conservative organisation
Accuracy in Media claimed that it had not been publicised due to
media bias. Mann defended his PhD thesis on
A study of ocean-atmosphere interaction and low-frequency variability of the climate system in the spring of 1996,
[9][10] and was awarded the Phillip M. Orville Prize for outstanding dissertation in the earth sciences in the following year. He was granted his PhD in geology and geophysics in 1998.

Michael E. Mann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now you two may have a third grade certificate. Between you. Dr. Mann certainly appears to have a rather impressive academic record, one far more impressive than his detractors.
