I was thinking the exact same thing - but in keeping with the
unusual level of "self-righteousness" of the rest of the previous
post, held-off in suggesting the same kind of low-evidence
proposition that I was already accusing Mann of making.
BTW a quick Wiki search sez: Michael Mann is a well-known
climatologist, author of more than 80 peer-reviewed journal
publications. He has attained public prominence as lead author of
a number of articles on global warming which feature a graph of
temperature trends dubbed the "hockey stick graph" for the shape
of the trend line. In August 2005 he was appointed Associate
Professor at Pennsylvania State University, in the Department of
Meteorology and Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, and
Director of the university's interdepartmental Earth System
Science Center. He previously taught at the University of
Virginia, in the Department of Environmental Sciences (1999 -
2005).
Although favoring the Hollywood-style of science journalism, he
not the same guy who made pastels famous, and Don Johnson's
alligator a status symbol among the powder-set in Coral Gables.
