Michael Man Unleashed: Defends ‘Hockey Stick’ - Slams Writer as ‘fuel industry shill’

[Note: Also see this report for a thorough rebuttal to 'Hockey Stick' claims: - The increasingly "thin-skinned" RealClimate.org gang must have had a meeting over the past two weeks and decided to go on the offensive. Gavin Schmidt has spent his time recently expressing outrage any critiques and he has been throwing around terms like 'slander' and 'abuse' and demanding critical analysis be removed from websites. Not to be outdone, Antarctic co-author and Real Climate activist Eric Steig, like Schmidt, has also been recently throwing phrases as "fraud" and "libel" after receiving critical analysis of his work. See: First Author of 'Antarctic Warming Paper' Claims Libel - Here is a past email alert on the unfolding Gavin Schmidt/RealClimate.org comedy show. - Real Climate does not appear to like criticism. Schmidt understandably does not wish to do any more climate debates with his scientific critics, as he was beaten, and beaten badly, in 2007. Schmidt blamed his failure to win the debate on his team's lack of persuasive ability. "We were pretty dull," Schmidt wrote in 2007.
