Mike Mann – The Hockey Stick in His Own Words
April 22, 2015
April 22, 1998: The paper “Global-scale temperature patterns and climate forcing over the past six centuries,” by Michael E. Mann, Raymond S. Bradley and Malcolm K. Hughes, is published in the journal Nature.
The interview above was one of the historic interviews we conducted in December at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
This material is now all part of John Cook’s MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on climate denial and climate science.
Below, for those interested, the whole “Hockey Stick” story.

“On March 24, after years of litigation, the Arizona Superior Court, Pima County, ruled in favor of the University of Arizona and its efforts to protect climate scientists’ (Dr. Malcolm Hughes and Dr. Jonathan Overpeck) correspondence and prepublication work.[1] In particular, in Energy & Environment Legal Institute v. Arizona Board of Regents, et al., the court upheld the University’s decision to deny large portions of open records requests by Energy & Environment Legal (known as E&E, and formerly named the American Tradition Institute or ATI), a group that has repeatedly sought to use open records laws to access troves of researchers’ private files.”
