IT’S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE how a guy who spends most of his time looking at endless columns of temperature records became a “fucking terrorist,” “killer,” or “one-world-government socialist.” It’s even harder when you meet Michael Mann[2], a balding 45-year-old climate scientist who speaks haltingly and has a habit of nervously clearing his throat. And when you realize that the reason for all the hostility is a 12-year-old chart, it seems more than a little surreal.

Still whining over the fact that they lied about and manipulated climate data to make global warming seem scarier than it really is?
How about environmentalists rallying arounds something usefull, like radiation from Japan or the BP oil aftermath?
Just sayin…
