Book Reviews of Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media
Book Review: Patrick Michaels is himself a distorter of science
Summary: 1 Stars
In 1988 James Hansen testified in front of the US Congress about global warming.
He included in his testimony a graph with three possible scenarios on it - three lines on a graph.
The top and bottom lines were said by Hansen to be the least likely scenarios. The middle line was the most plausible scenario, according to Hansen.
Ten years later, Patrick Michaels testified to the US Congress. In this testimony, he produced Hansen's graph, but with the bottom two scenarios totally deleted, thus leaving only the most extreme top scenario. Patrick Michaels then argued that his doctored graph, with the "most plausible scenario" deleted by Michaels, showed that "the forecast made in 1988 was an astounding failure".
Patrick Michaels has a cheek trying to lecture anyone on the distortion of science, after his deliberate distortion of Hansen's views.
