In today's episode narrated by Melissa Howes, Mark explains in layman's terms what became known as the "divergence problem" - which in turn led to the catchphrase of Climategate: "hide the decline".
We will also hear from Dr Jennifer Marohasy who said of the hockey stick, "A case of Michael Mann ...sticking an apple on the end of a banana."
As a reminder, Mann first sued Mark and others in 2012. Then, the other parties decided to take the Slow Boat to (In)Justice by appealing the immediate appealability of SLAPP rulings all the way to the US Supreme Court. Mark didn't bother with all that procedural nonsense and instead focused on preparing for trial...
Thanks to the generosity of our readers - we were able to hire a researcher and compile these "exhibits" as it were of what scientists - "people with PhD after their names" (as Mann pal Ed Begley Jr. calls them) - actually make of Mann's "hockey stick" graph. These "exhibits" were then compiled and published in "A Disgrace to the Profession".
