The "hockey stick" graph of global temperatures is the single most influential icon in the global-warming debate, promoted by the UN's transnational climate bureaucracy, featured in Al Gore's Oscar-winning movie, used by governments around the world to sell the Kyoto Accord to their citizens, and shown to impressionable schoolchildren from kindergarten to graduation. And yet what it purports to "prove" is disputed and denied by many of the world's most eminent scientists. In this riveting book, Mark Steyn has compiled the thoughts of the world's scientists, in their own words, on hockey-stick creator Michael E Mann, his stick and their damage to science. From Canada to Finland, Scotland to China, Belgium to New Zealnd, from venerable Nobel Laureates to energetic young researchers on all sides of the debate analyze the hockey stock and the wider climate wars it helped launch.

Review I recommend Steyn's book highly, because it really gets to the heart of the matter about that lack of scientific rigor in climate science that has become a poster child for noble cause corruption . - Anthony Watts --Watts Up With ThatAt a time when the U.S. and the world's nations are trying to put together an agreement to tackle climate change (for better or for worse), Steyn's book reminds everyone of Climategate, why the public doesn't trust climate scientists and aren't buying their "consensus". - Judith Curry --Climate Etc.It's probably the longest, funniest, most savvily organized and meticulous "screw you" in the history of Western literature. - Laura Rosen Cohen --endofyourarm.com

By Foxgoose Got my advance copy today and thought I'd give a review of my initial impressions as far as Chapter 83.Quite amused to see a review from RussellS - who clearly hasn't been anywhere near the book.This very detailed and well referenced book could be a game changer in the climate debate. It's entertainingly and professionally written, as you'd expect from a journalist of Steyn's stature, but it strength is in the amazing amount of well-referenced research that has gone into it. Steyn has devoted a chapter to each scientist who has expressed an opinion on Mann's dubious science - ranging from qualified known sceptics to Nobel prize winners (real ones :-) and even colleagues and co-workers of Mann, who are the most outspoken on his alarming character traits. Cleverly, he has managed to weave this compendium of impressively qualified opinion into a highly entertaining & readable complete narrative of the contentious climate debate - from the first IPCC report though the hockey stick and climategate sagas right up to today. For a non-specialist reader who wants to get a flavour of what the long running global warming is really about in terms of scientific competence, ethics (or lack thereof) and politics this book is unmissable. Probably some extra amusement value will unfold as more of Dr Mann's easily identified groupies turn up here to launch concerted "confusion & destruction" attacks on the book without having taken the trouble to buy it.

Eachus Steyn's book is about what OTHER PEOPLE said about Mann and his hockey stick.Other negative comments aside, whether Steyn is Liberal or Conservative or Communist or Druid or Jewish or Christian has little to no bearing on the content of the book.People should know what other scientists say about Mann's work, since prior to this they've probably been overwhelmed with only the other side of the issue. This is not an attack, it's a balance.

Required Reading for a Course on Science Ethics By Davidson I purchased and read an advanced release of this book from Mark Steyn’s online store.The “Hockey-Stick” graph, which became the iconic symbol for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) third assessment, deceptively lacked a portion of tree-ring analysis that didn’t correlate with the spike in the modern instrumented temperature record (“Hide the decline”, "Mike's Nature trick"). The omitted data casts doubt on the ability of tree-ring proxies to detect temperature spikes in the past. Referring to the deceit Steyn stated in a blog: “Michael Mann was the man behind the fraudulent climate-change “hockey-stick” graph…” Mann sued for defamation. Steyn now raises the stakes by moving beyond his 270 word post to this 300 page book that pile drives a host of claims, made by accomplished scientists, of deception and improper science into Mann’s work. If there are courses in science ethics, this book should be a required text.Though I’ve followed Climate Audit’s posts detailing the problems with the “Hockey Stick” and Steyn’s web posts related to Mann’s legal suit, this book is still very informative. I didn’t realize how many scientists are on record critical of Mann’s methods, ethics, or both. Steyn has compiled 120 sections of critiques, accounting for at least 120 different scientists (some of the critiques have multiple authors). Number 89, for instance, is a note to the editor of Nature Geoscience responding to a Mann paper. The note is endorsed by 23 scientists and starts: “Several aspects of their tree-ring growth simulations are erroneous.” But Steyn piles on an additional 24th scientist, a tree-ring researcher, who called the study “highly questionable.” The Nature correspondent providing this quote further synopsized: “Questions entire science of tree ring dating. Misleads public.”Steyn is correctly listed as the compiler/editor since the bulk of the work are not his words but the words of mostly PhD scientists. Having a PhD shouldn’t matter but as Steyn points out “a cat may look at a king, but the position of Emperor Mike’s courtiers is that only a cat with a PhD may gaze upon His Tree-Ringed Majesty.” Mann’s defenders rely on their “authority” to justify their work but Steyn strips that authority away with this book. Furthermore, he quotes a range of scientists; from those who believe Anthropogenic Global Warming is a problem to sceptics who don’t. Steyn presents what he states on the book’s cover: “In their own words, on Michael Mann, His Hockey Stick, and their damage to science.” Climate science has been damaged but the book identifies problems that hopefully climate scientists will fix to undo the damage. Steyn isn’t just interested in winning a legal suit about free speech. He is making the case that what he has to say is as important as his right to say it. He states in the forward “… a goal for me is lifting the climate of fear that Mann and his fellow enforcers have imposed on a critical field of science and in the broader sphere of public policy.”This book is a good resource for those who have been following the “Hockey Stick” saga as well as those who are new to the controversies. The 120 sections are about two pages each and easy to read. It makes it hard to stop reading since one is always tempted to read just one more. The sections are grouped into 12 aspects “of Mann and his work” such as the abolition of uncertainty or the eventual disfavor of the “Hockey Stick” by the IPCC. It is worth the price of the book just to have the statements located together, although, the electronic version of this book might make it easier to check the provided web links to delve further into context and specific subjects. Each scientist mentioned is also listed in the index. As always, Steyn’s wit makes the reading pleasurable.
