Ex-CIA Spook Stalks Climate Scientist Mann

A man claiming to be an ex-CIA agent is busy soliciting any information that would discredit scientist Michael Mann, author of the famous hockey-stick graph that shows the earth getting warm suddenly in recent years. The right-wing climate deniers have been trying to discredit Mann for years, largely because his graph is so persuasive. Mann has been validated and exonerated many times.

But one Kent Clizbe is telling people they may stand to get rich if only they could come up with some evidence that Mann misused research money. So far, despite the money offers, Clizbe seems to have had no luck.
