‘Mike’s Trick’: Exposing Michael Mann’s Data Fraud

Written by John O'Sullivan & Norm Kalmanovich on January 23, 2018. Posted in Current News

Professor Michael Mann famously rushed to file a libel suit against Dr Tim Ball over six years ago because Ball said Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn. State.”

Mann has since stalled in bringing the case to trial.  Below we provide an insight into why Mann doesn’t want his dirty data washed in public.

Mann’s goal was to make the Little Ice Age (LIA) disappear, as we explained in our previous article on this issue. Apart from playing with statistics Mann made his proxy fit the thermometer data by adding thermometer values to the proxy values known as “mikes trick” in the climate gate emails. In them Professor Phil Jones, Britain’s top climate scientist at the University of East Anglia wrote to his alarmist colleagues (some analysis here).

The email, sent by Prof Phil Jones of the CRU in 1999, states:

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow.
I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps
to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from
1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.

Cheers
Phil

This has the Hockey Stick Graph showing the same cooling from 1942 to 1975 as the HadCRUT3 data as posted in the IPCC 2001 AR3

In 1942 there was just 4.0Gt of emissions increasing to 17.1Gt by 1975 but since this 425{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} increase in CO₂ emissions didn’t cause any global warming during this 33 year period; the conjecture of CO₂ emissions induced (catastrophic) global warming was proven false.

To fix this problem HadCRUT3 was revised to show warming through this interval but by showing warming the Hockey Stick no longer matched the data!

This created a new problem with the revised HadCRUT3 honouring the data and showing a greater rate of cooling since 2002 than any of the other datasets!

To fix this HadCRUT3 was revised to HadCRUT4 which flattened the cooling since 2002 but returned the cooling from 1942 to 1975

So now the Hockey Stick matches the data but the climate change nonsense no longer matches the 33 years of cooling from 1942 to 1975!

Tim Ball has directed his legal team to investigate all avenues in exposing the above to the widest possible audience. It appears Mann will go to any length to keep the truth hidden from the world. Who will succeed?
