Hans von Storch and Nico Stehr published a peer-reviewed article in "Science" exposing the exaggerations of Mann's Hockey stick graph
The UN climate panel ([[IPCC]]) has issued a series of reports endorsing the theory of [[anthropogenic global warming]] (AGW). Supporters of this theory call the IPCC assessments authoritative, and use this as the basis to justify ratification of the global warming treaty (see [[Kyoto Protocol]]).

:In an article we published in the professional journal "Science" in October 2004, we were able to demonstrate that the underlying methodology that led to this [[hockey stick curve]] is flawed. Our intention was to turn back the spiral of exaggerations somewhat, but without calling the core statement into question, which is that human-induced climate change does exist. Prominent members of the climate research community did not respond to the article by engaging use in a dispute over the facts. Instead, they were concerned that the worthy cause of climate protection had been harmed. [http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,342376,00.html]
