Michael Mann is a climatologist and geophysicist working at Penn State University. In 1998, he was the leader of a group using statistical techniques that created a graph showing the earth’s temperature over the last 1,000 years. The graph would gain international fame and become known as the “hockey stick graph.” The graph showed steady temperatures on the earth’s surface with a sharp increase in the last few hundred years, giving it the shape of a hockey stick.
The graph is a religious artifact to those that belong to this religion. It is so revered that those who created it, were invited to work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on its 2001 scientific assessment report. The assessment came to many conclusions, but three stick out:
There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities;
Human influences will continue to change atmospheric composition throughout the 21st century;
And, global average temperature and sea level are projected to rise under all IPCC SRES scenarios.
Not surprisingly, the conclusions also involve more government control over what people do, and more money for man-made climate change research. Figure 1. shows how much money the Government Accountability Office claims the federal government has spent on combating supposed climate change between 1993 and 2010. Today, it is harder to find the facts on how much is actually being spent by the federal government, but Salon is reporting over $12 billion is to be spent this year, and other organizations are reporting up to $27 billion is expected to be spent.
The worldwide climate change industry is valued to be worth $1.5 trillion. That’s a lot of money for “research.” Enter Dr. Timothy Ball.

With this case going on, I think Al Gore should have to print a retraction at least and return the Millions he has made off his "the sky is falling" rant. Also, Michael Moore and DeCaprio should apologize for alarming the general public.
Trump may very well be proven right, again.
maybe they've been looking at the graph upside down.
newsflash: there is indeed climate change. it has been changing for billions of years if you believe the earth is that old.
it's all a crock of gore-crap
President Trump was right from the beginning. We the People have known this was a farce for YEARS...They just wanted your money and, of course, Control of you and the way you live.
