FOXNews.com - 'Hockey Stick' Climate Scientist Found Innocent of All Charges

Michael Mann, the author of a notorious scientific study that is a tent pole of global warming public policy, has been found innocent of charges of improper conduct.

Overstating the importance of Mann's climate data seems to be an ongoing problem.

North noted that any overstatement of the results wasn't Mann's fault: “The community probably took the results to be more definitive than Mann and colleagues intended.”

Panel member Curt Cuffey had a similar story, remembers Mann. At the time Cuffey had said, “it was really the first analysis of its type -- so it's not surprising that they could have probably done some detailed aspects of it better. But it was a really remarkable contribution, and basically gave birth to a debate that's ongoing that's really teaching us a lot about how climate has changed.”

Ongoing debate or settled science? With regard to climate change, only one thing seems certain: the debate will continue.
