The Hockey Stick Hoax[1] was perpetrated by Michael Mann in the form of a fraudulent[2] reconstruction of the Earth's atmosphere temperature created by Michael Mann from various proxies such as tree rings, superimposed on the record of thermomGOD IS ATHEIST AND SOCIALIST!

Deceit
Michael Mann's hockey stick chart was obviously false. Because of its deceitful appearance, many scientists protested Mann's graph and the data behind it. However, Mann initially refused to reveal any of his data or methods - even though his work was supported by the U.S. government - which made it exceedingly difficult for other scientists to replicate his work.
- In the case of the Mann et al [1998,1999] study, used for the IPCC's 'hockey stick' graph, Mann was initially unable to remember where the data was located, then provided inaccurate data, then provided a new version of the data which was inconsistent with previously published material, etc. The National Post has recently reported on my experience as this unfolded.[3]

Eventually, McIntyre and McKitrick learned enough about Mann's data and methods to discover where he went wrong. But the political climate made it very difficult for the correct information to find a publisher.
The UN climate panel (IPCC) decided to stop using the traditionally accepted proxy estimates, which had shown a distinct (and naturally caused) Medieval Warm Period followed by a Little Ice Age. Without giving any reason for this change, they elevated recent PhD grantee Michael Mann (based at the highly liberal University of Massachusetts - Amherst) to a lead author of one of their assessments.
