After years of trying to suppress their release, and finally being ordered to be released by a judge, they are now public, and we have them here. This will remain as a “top post” for a day, new stories will be below this one.
There’s quite a treasure trove, but also some duplications from previous releases.
First a look at the release letter from University of Arizona:
The files released cover emails from Michael Mann to Malcolm Hughes, Eugene Wahl, Caspar Amman, Ray Bradley, and Jonathan Overpeck. Plus there were additional requests for anything out of UEA (Phil Jones at CRU).
The FOIA request goes all the way back to December of 2011, it’s taken this long to get released. Mann fought the release all the way.
Here is a sample, where Keith Briffa of CRU says that Mann’s data (and others) do in fact show a Medieval Warm Period.
There’s further arguments from Keith Briffa about Mann’s data, along with Mann claiming that the “screening” process to decide whether or not to include certain proxy data is actually a good thing. There was some blowback a few years ago when it was discovered that Mann’s pre-screening really skewed the results in his favor….yet in these email exchanges, he thinks the process is “objective”:
Here’s Mann responding to the publication of the McIntyre and McKittrick paper in E&E:
There’s quite a bit to wade through, and some emails are duplicated from the original Climategate release.
I invite readers to read and review these documents, and to point out any items of interest in comments.

Am I right to conclude that there is nothing much new in these emails?
Looks like it.
It’ll take people with a lot of time & an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Climategate emails to go through them.
I read the previous ClimateGate emails and I’m finding lots of new stuff in this batch.

My post about hundreds of previous ClimateGate emails is here: here:http://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html
Mann live on TWC….CA forest fires and winter weather due to…wait for it…..Climate Change!!! He said “We think… fires are due to CC” He offered no proof.
The mann is a fraud. Anyone hosting him for anything, never mind a broadcaster of any repute is an idiot.
The craziest thing here is that anyone would take seriously the notion that looking at tree rings, and pine cones, to ‘measure’ temperatures from hundreds of years ago, with a resolution of tenths of a degree C.
I enjoyed the comments here. Let me add two.
1. Concerning Bill Nye and his fake experiment “proving” CO2 causes global warming. It was totally disproved and the story was displayed in wattsupwiththat.com. He should now be called “Bill Nye the LYIN’ guy”
2. ALL of us concerned with the rollback of the scientific method to the days of Gallileo; the attempt to silence all critics of AGW and the call for imprisonment of same critics based on fraudulent data and outright lies should do more to fight back against those frauds like mann, nye, gore, ocasio-cortez, etc.
