Michael Mann, Author of Debunked Hockey Stick Graph, Presents Lecture on Scientific Ethics

Michael Mann, Author of Debunked Hockey Stick Graph, Presents Lecture on Scientific Ethics:

"They noted that “It appears that news media and some pro-environmental organizations have the tendency to accentuate or even exaggerate the damage caused by climate change.” However, they found that “the information manipulation has an instrumental value, as it ex post induces more countries to participate in an IEA (International Environmental Agreement), which will eventually enhance global welfare.”

In other words, climate change ethics stipulates that it’s ok to exaggerate and perhaps even lie, as long as you’re doing so to protect the planet."
