Penn State has released a report regarding the claims that Dr. Michael Mann, who heads the university’s Penn State’s Earth System Science Center, did very dishonest things to convince the world that man-made activities were causing a catastrophic warming to Planet Earth.
PSU addressed the claims that Mann:
- Participated in fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or other practices that seriously deviate from accepted practices within the academic community for proposing, conducting, or reporting research or other scholarly activities
- Showed callous disregard for requirements that ensure the protection of researchers, human participants, or the public; or for ensuring the welfare of laboratory animals
- Failed to disclose significant financial and business interest as defined by Penn State Policy RA20, Individual Conflict of Interest
- Engaged in, directly or indirectly, any actions that seriously deviated from accepted practices within the academic community for conducting research or other scholarly activities?
The committee exonerated Mann on all allegations but the fourth about which it said further investigation was needed.
Mann came under fire after emails were leaked — the PSU board uses the word “purloined” — from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climatic Research Centre in the United Kingdom that showed leading climate researchers playing tricks with data and conspiring to stifle dissenters regarding the global warming catastrophe story.
Mann’s emails were among those released.
The most significant allegation was Number 1. That the Penn State review board couldn’t come to see that leaving out data points that would change the entire meaning of a graph goes way beyond “trying to construct an understandable graph for those who were not experts in the field” as per the PSU report indicates a serious decline in academic standards.
This investigation was a waste of time. The NYT reported in their version that PENN STATE BOUGHT INTO Mann’s explanation for using the word “trick” as something normal for all scientists to us. That’s all you needed to hear from that commitee. The MSM, academia and government have not come to terms with the fact that AGW HAS TAKEN A LONG WALK OFF A SHORT PEER. Only those with financial/political agenda’s are still clinging to the scientific hoax of the century.
It appears that Penn State is joining an elite group by providing cover to Dr. Michael Mann.
The late Professor John Edward Mack of Harvard believed aliens were taking people.
Professor David Michael Jacobs of Temple believes that alien-human hybrids are engaged in a secret program of infiltration into human society with the final goal of taking over the Earth.
Professor Ward Churchill, who the University of Colorado-Boulder made chairman of its Ethnic Studies Department after accepting his claims at face value that he was of American Indian descent and served as a paratrooper in Vietnam.
Joe Pa had better keep his distance from Professor Mann. Temple will start beating up on those lions.
Remember God Loves the Nittany Lions and made the sky blue and white, not Al Gore green.
