“No, Michael Mann, Global Warming Didn't Cause Hurricane Harvey's Devastation” (8/31/2017 - Investor's Business Daily at investors.com) Written by someone unwilling to put their name on this libelous cowardly act of defamation.
I have no idea who's behind Investor's Business Daily or this editorial, but I know fraud and libel when I see it and I will be spending the next few days dissecting this particular example of calumny crossing over into what seems to me felonious criminal vandalism on Professor Mann’s professional reputation - not to mention the citizen's right and need to honestly hear about what climate scientists are learning!
To spell out my case I will be quoting the entire editorial (nothing left out, nothing added) talking point by talking point, in chronological order. Though broken down into bite-sized chunks, here we examine Points of Contention 10 to 14, Investors Business Daily quotes are in Courier font.
Message to interested readers, I'm just an outside life long observer and my writing is done in fits and starts with constant short and long interrupts, thus it never surpasses the 'grandma moses' level. But, my information is solid and my reasoning is solid and I welcome anyone with more time and focus, to take anything at WUWTW and use it as a starting point for better efforts that reach more people.
Of course, if anyone were interested in helping me work on this, my obvious passion, to see what I could accomplish with the luxury of full-time focus on my side, please do let me know. Thank you, Peter aka citizenschallenge

Yet more ironically, his detractors never mention this part of that paper:
Global-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries
Michael E. Mann, Raymond S. Bradley & Malcolm K. Hughes

Northern Hemisphere Temperature During the Past Millennium:
Inferences, Uncertainties, and Limitations

This opens up quite the can of worms, but if Investor’s Daily wants to go there so be it.
