Climate Scientist, Heated Up Over Satirical Video, Threatens Lawsuit
By Ed Barnes
Published April 26, 2010
FOXNews.com
The Penn State climate professor who has silently endured investigations, hostile questioning, legislative probes and attacks by colleagues has finally spoken out. He says he'll sue the makers of a satirical video that's a hit on You Tube.
Their response: Bring it on.
Michael Mann, one of the central figures in the recent climate-data scandal, is best known for his "hockey stick graph," which was the key visual aid in explaining how the world is warming at an alarming rate and in connecting the rise to the increase in use of carbon fuels in this century. E-mails stolen from a university in England were released online, revealing exchanges between climatologists and a reference to a "trick" that Mann had used to get the graph to portray what global warming scientists wanted to see.
The parody video, titled "Hide the Decline," had more than 500,000 viewers on YouTube and received national attention when Rush Limbaugh played it on his radio show. It features a cat with a guitar, a talking tree, and a dancing figure sporting the image of Professor Mann. It's the use of his image that Mann is complaining about, arguing that the video supports "efforts to sell various products and merchandise."
"The guy is crazy to threaten legal action," said Jeff Davis, the President of No Cap and Trade, a large organization that includes the group Mann is threatening to sue, Minnesotans for Global Warming. "A lawsuit would give us full discovery -- and there's a lot to look at in his work." 
Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann
The evelations of the leaked e-mails brought into question the methodology used to prove the Earth is getting hotter, and the phrase "hide the decline" became a catchphrase for questioning a human role in global warming.
Mann faced investigations both by Penn State and in England. While both found his work acceptable, critics have nevertheless charged that the probes were superficial and have prevented a closer analysis of the science upon which his view of global warming is based.
In his letter Mann threatened legal action, claiming the spoof video "illegally used his image and defamed him."
Neither Mann nor Penn State responded to requests for comments. Mann's lawyer, Peter J. Fontaine of the Washington D.C. law firm of Cozen O'Connor, told FoxNews.com "we don't comment on any pending legal matters for clients."
Davis and No Cap and Trade said they welcome the lawsuit.
The group is eager to conduct an in-depth probe of Mann's work and "finally look at how it was done. We understand why Michael Mann is eager to silence public discussion of the hockey stick scandal, but truth is an absolute defense."
According to Davis, the video was created in the wood-warmed RV that is the "world headquarters " for Minnesotans for Global Warming and its three members, who jokingly think that Minnesota could use a little more heat.
When the letter first arrived, they quickly pulled the video from You Tube and their website because they couldn't afford to defend against a lawsuit. But, as word spread of the legal threat to the jokesters, a number of groups, including No Cap and Trade, rallied to their defense. They even backed a newer version of the video titled "Hide the Decline II" and re-posted on You Tube and the No Cap and Trade site.
"It is hard to believe in global warming when you live in Minnesota. During last winter we all wished we had some global warming," Elmer Beauregard, a nom de plume of one of the members of the group, said at a press conference announcing the new video on Tuesday.

The vuvuzela has now cracked the big time: nearly every movie on YouTube can be, um, enhanced! From Techland, TIME’s Allie Townsend explains:


A Nancy Chartrand is shown as being associated with the Aboriginal Head Start Program - Abinoje Head Start (Duck Bay). Back in 2001 the same name was listed as a Board Member for the Duck Bay Housing Board. However, we are unaware whether a familial relationship exists between President Chartrand and Ms Chartrand. Anyone know? Also noticed Ruby Chartrand appears with the Children for the Future initiative (Swan River).
Finally, the missing piece of the puzzle is "Lee H." which it was suggested is associated with the Northwest Local Management Board. When we checked the NW Metis Association webpage (http://www.northwestmetis.com) all we could find was a link to the Northwest Local Management Board's Newsletter. Problem is it was dated June of 2005. "The Message from the Chairperson" did not come with a name. So the identity of Lee H. remains a mystery.

Good Day Readers:
In Murray Trachtenberg's latest Motion filed with the Court essentially he's asking for the equivalent of a death sentence for a traffic ticket. How interested is he in collecting the money owing given there's nothing in his Motion which addresses that issue? He's too busy trying to have me excluded from attending the June 30, 2010 Motion Hearing.
By the way, Motion Hearings are open to the public so anyone can attend. Plus they're not covered by the Publication Ban Counselor Trachtenberg was granted back in early September of 2008.
As you read this latest court document please join us in singing Corporate Team TRACHTENBERG - chartrand's favourite song, "The Money Tree."
Pull up an easy chair and sit yourself down and lean back
While we tell ya about the folks who live in the town of Greenback
They never have to work on their hands and knees
Cause they live in a place where money grows on trees
CHORUS
Oh the Money Tree, the Money Tree
It's a beautiful sight to see.
Why couldn't it happen to you and me
There isn't a person in town who isn't a regal spender
And they never wear a frown for lack of that legal tender
They're all ten years ahead on their income tax
And the whole town's driving next year's Cadillacs
REPEAT CHORUS
Well it grows fresh new bills that snap and crack
As fast as you pick 'em it grows 'em back
Every day there's a bumper crop
With a million dollar bill way up on top
Now there is just one way to visit the town of Greenback
Pull up an easy chair and sit yourself down and lean back
Then close your eyes and suddenly you will see
That beautiful, lovely, wonderful Money Tree!
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
