Norm Sauer: Mann’s ‘hockey stick’ a documented hoax

My Sept. 22 column, “If you control carbon, you control life,” questioned the scientific validity of Michael Mann’s “hockey stick.” Dr. Mann wrote an Other Voices article in The Union the next day complaining my statements that his contrived hockey stick ignored the Medieval Warm Period are a “falsehood,” and “a distortion, half-truth, or plain untruth.”
I take this opportunity to buttress the documented truth of what I wrote.
The search for truth starts with understanding that if the Medieval Warm Period existed before the industrial revolution then the man-made global warming (MMGW) theory of CO2 forcing sudden warming in the 20th century is baseless because our recent warming is not unusual, unique, unnatural, nor greenhouse gas related.

Above what I quoted are two graphs. First a 1990 IPCC report showing the 'Medieval Warm period' as the highest point on the graph followed by the 'Little Ice age' which is the lowest point on the graph and then 'present day' which is somewhere in the middle.
The second graph is a 2001 IPCC report in which the Medieval warm period and the little ice age are NOT so delineated. And it ends in a red 'skyrocketing' warming trend.
Anyway, the link to the article is above if anyone is interested.
(Not to mention that michael mann has lost a few lawsuits over his 'lack of scientific integrity'.)
