Although little-known in Canada, McIntyre and McKitrick -- or M and M as they're called in climate change circles -- have since 2003 put forward evidence of faulty calculations in some of the key scientific studies behind the reports of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
They also showed that Mann's calculations ignored the data showing a major warming trend in the 15th century, much like the warming of the 20th century.
"That discovery hit me like a bombshell," wrote one scientist in the MIT Technology Review in 2004. "
Suddenly the 'hockey stick,' the poster child of the global warming community, turns out to be an artifact of poor mathematics."
