Penn State University Michael Mann, author of the “hide the decline” phonied up hockey stick graph, now claims vindication when three of four charges against him for flimsy research were dropped after an investigation. One charge against him will be further investigated. None of the investigations has to do with whether his phonied up research was correct or not.
ESSC Director Mann comments on Penn State RA-10 Inquiry
Wednesday, 3 February, 2010University Park, Pa. — ESSC Director Dr. Michael Mann has issued the following statement regarding the recent Penn State Inquiry:
“I am very pleased that, after a thorough review, the independent Penn State committee found no evidence to support any of the allegations against me.Three of the four allegations have been dismissed completely. Even though no evidence to substantiate the fourth allegation was found, the University administrators thought it best to convene a separate committee of distinguished scientists to resolve any remaining questions about academic procedures.This is very much the vindication I expected since I am confident I have done nothing wrong.I fully support the additional inquiry which may be the best way to remove any lingering doubts. I intend to cooperate fully in this matter – as I have since the beginning of the process.“
