NPR's Science Friday, host Ira Flato, did an interview with Michael Mann. Mann is a big warmist and the creator of the "hockey stick" graph of world temperature, the one that goes flat from the beginning of time until the 1900's and then soars up to the ceiling. The one that got him a freedom of information lawsuit when he refused to release the data from which he built the graph.
In the course of a lengthy half an hour interview, Mann refused to discuss the science of global warming, you know instrument readings, ice cores, historical records, real data. He had a lot to say about the habits and ancestry of his critics, but nothing to say about the science. He still thinks tree ring width indicates temperature, where as real people know that tree rings are influenced by rainfall not temperature. In short, Mann is a crusader for warming, he knows little about the science.
And it looks like Ira Flato is a supporter.
