Please consider this typical example of the standard operating procedure of Steven Bannon and the Alt-Right political army he’s put together.
Quoting the LeftExposed.org: "Michael E. Mann is an atmospheric science professor at Penn State University, a climate catastrophe advocate, and a militant campaigner against scientists who disagree with him. He is most famous as the creator of the discredited and controversial “hockey stick graph,” which has been discredited by statisticians for distorting past climate history and offering outlandish predictions of future carbon-dioxide-induced global warming. ..."
The thing is, in no way has the "hockey stick graph” been discredited. Click on "outlandish predictions" to see how things are shaking out. At the end of this post I offer information specific to the "Hockey Stick" graph.
Can't get around it, ignore it maybe, but it's happening baby. That article continues to gleefully spread complete malicious lies, about a matter of utmost importance to our children and the world we are bequeathing them. Why does everyone seem okay with that? Where's the moral outrage?
Repetition and willful gullibility has allowed this lie to be generally accepted by the incurious. The author's only intent is to unjustly demonize an accomplished and respected scientist’s quality career, in order to avoid dealing with the implication of the knowledge we have at hand. Mann has earned decades of respect from his knowledgeable peers, that’s not a conspiracy - that’s the man doing outstanding work. None of it perfect, but nothing is perfect. It’s all a learning process that's constantly refining what is known. Truth matters!
Now our new President's top advisor and one of two people (besides T's brass...) responsible for Trump's coup, this Bannon has displayed utter contempt for the truth. As the years go by what will Trump voters think as they start waking up to those lies.
