The Hypocrisy of the UVA Faculty

Roanoke Times, 5-19-10, Pg 13: 800 UVA Faculty sign letter protesting Va. AG Cuccinelli probe of former professor Michael Mann, now at Penn State.

Roanoke Times, 5-18-10, Pg 13: Commentary by Frank Peck ably pointing out that there is more than adequate reason to investigate possible fraud in Prof. Mann’s grant applications for tax-payer funds.

Once again the Editors of the Roanoke Times abuse their public responsibility to present a truthful and fair and balanced news story. Their biased and slanted article hides the blatant hypocrisy of the UVA Faculty to wit:
-
1. The UVA Faculty stood silent when Democrat Gov. Kaine stripped the distinguished Prof. Michaels of his position as Virginia’s Climatologist and then drummed him out of the University all because he refused to support Al Gores’ patently false and outlandish global warming and climate change statements. Now the UVA Faculty are suddenly moved to action to support a former colleague who has been clearly exposed as a charlatan by the release of the ClimateGate Emails and his totally debunked “hockey stick” manipulation of temperature data. Even the UN’s political IPCC group has disclaimed Michael Mann’s fabrications that included excluding the “medieval warm period” and the “little ice” age data from his calculations in order to generate false results to enhance his position within the Alarmist community.

2. The UVA Faculty and the Editors of the Roanoke Times have not expressed any reservations or objections by the action of UVA to release all of Prof. Michael’s academic records and materials to the Greenpeace organization. Greenpeace has absolutely no standing what so ever to obtain the files of any UVA faculty member and represents an unprecedented and obscene action.
-
The Global Warming Alarmist community and the liberal and left-wing community will surly obstruct shining any light on Prof. Mann’s work because in every case where the public has gained an insight into the Alarmist processes, procedures and manipulation of data the public has come to realize that global warming and climate changes are primarily the result of natural processes and variations and are not “man-caused”.
