Climate guy Mike Mann goes to Washington DC because they give him millions of US taxpayer dollars, even Obama 'stimulus' funds via NSF porn surfers

1/5/2010, "Michael Mann Received Stimulus Money," WSJ.com, Opinion Journal

"As for stimulus jobs—whether "saved" or "created"—we thought readers might be interested to know whose employment they are sustaining.

• More than $2.4 million is stimulating

the career of none other than Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann.

Mr. Mann is the creator of the famous hockey stick graph, which purported to show some 900 years of minor temperature fluctuations, followed by a spike in temperatures over the past century. His work, which became a short-term sensation when seized upon by Al Gore,

• was later discredited.
  

Mr. Mann made the climate spotlight again last year as a central player in the emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, which showed climatologists massaging data, squelching opposing views, and hiding their work from the public.

Mr. Mann came by his grants via the National Science Foundation, which received $3 billion in stimulus money. Last June, the foundation

• approved a $541,184 grant to fund work "Toward Improved Projections of the Climate Response to Anthropogenic Forcing," which will contribute "to the understanding of abrupt climate change."

Principal investigator? Michael Mann.

He received another grant worth nearly $1.9 million to investigate the role of "environmental temperature on the transmission of vector-borne diseases."

• Mr. Mann is listed as a "co-principal investigator" on that project.
  

Both grants say they were "funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009."

The NSF made these awards prior to last year's climate email scandal, but a member of its Office of Legislative and Public Affairs told us

• she was "unaware of any discussion regarding suspending or changing the awards made to Michael Mann."
  

So your tax dollars will continue to fund a climate scientist whose main contribution to the field

• has been to discredit climate science."

================================

The NSF has been porn surfing and conducting office romances for years and admits it is so screwed up now it can't perform the job it's supposed to do. Senator Lugar, over to you.

================================

• Substantiating global warming data was discarded and can't be reproduced:

11/29/09, "This weekend it emerged that the unit has thrown away much of the data.

Tucked away on its website is this statement: “Data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites ...

• We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (ie, quality controlled and homogenised) data.”

If true, it is extraordinary. It means that the data on which a large part of the world’s understanding of climate change is based

• can never be revisited or checked.

• Pielke said: “Can this be serious? It is now impossible to create a new temperature index from scratch.

• [The unit] is basically saying, ‘Trust us’.”...

Above from 11/29/09, "The great climate change science scandal," UK Sunday Times, Jonathan Leake

• As stated in the article, substantiating data was discarded, therefore there is no 'science.'

Everyone in US government knows this and continues to throw millions of US taxpayer dollars at these people perhaps because they are backed by organized crime in the trillion dollar carbon trading market.

US citizens have no representation. Michael Mann and the climate guys making millions have representation, but ordinary Americans have none.

• Why haven't criminal charges been filed against those dispensing money to global warming projects? Over to you, Senator Lugar.
