Climate Audit
Conclusion
Mann’s claim that the UK House of Commons Science and Technology
Committee “investigated” and “exonerated” him personally is as invalid
as his similar claims regarding the Muir Russell and Oxburgh inquries or
his claim to have won a Nobel prize. Media coverage of Jones’
appearance before the Commons Committee hearings was eloquently savage,
perhaps even Steynian. Nor did the Commons Committee report result in
any uncontradicted findings on dishonesty: its only finding on
dishonesty – that Jones had “no case to answer” in respect to the 1999
WMO diagram – was contradicted and superceded by the finding of the Muir
Russell panel that the diagram was “misleading”. This diagram had
“nothing to do” with Mann himself, but Mann was implicated in the 2001
IPCC TAR diagram, which also deleted adverse data from the Briffa
recontruction and which the Muir Russell panel described as “similar”.
