BBC - The Editors: What's up with the weather?
[1 minute video] We also hear from the scientist behind the graph which has become an icon in the climate-change debate. Professor Michael Mann regrets the way his so-called "hockey-stick graph" was put in the spotlight by politicians.

Walked into this hornet's nest this morning! Keith and Phil have both raised some very good points.

Mann certainly didn't discourage the use of his graph to further the AGW political agenda! He's only regretting it now because he's been caught with the other AGW hoaxsters and is possibly facing civil action.
