“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 though it has the stink of GOP astro-turfing about it. 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 15 to 27, 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

Here they go again, rather than sticking to the topic of Hurricane Harvey’s supposed non-connection to our warming global weather engine, Investor’s Business want’s us to forget the topic and climb into the world of polarized political showmanship and enemy fabrication.
The more outlandish the better for inflaming the troops. UN is a socialist plot to take away all your freedoms. Come on you sillies get real, we depend on our weather for all we hold near and dear, can we get on point? Any appreciation for our society includes an awareness that weather impacts every facet of our lives.
We want people to study it, we want people understanding how we are changing it and what those changes mean for our future, and how to prepare.
Oh speaking of sinister mega plots,
