Mark Steyn on Michael Mann's lawyer's last celebrity client, Joe Camel: "they put him in a suit and got rid of the hump – in much the same way that the “hockey stick” graph got rid of the hump of the Medieval Warm Period. Coincidence? Hmm."

Going Ape - By Mark Steyn - The Corner - National Review Online

Oh, dear. Speaking of animals, several bloggers note that Dr Mann’s lawyer’s last celebrity client was Joe Camel – the tobacco industry’s anthropomorphized dromedary. By “anthropomorphized dromedary”, I mean they put him in a suit and got rid of the hump – in much the same way that the “hockey stick” graph got rid of the hump of the Medieval Warm Period.

Coincidence? Hmm.
