The infamous 'Hockey Stick" graph. (above)
Dr. Michael Mann is the co-author of the famous “hockey stick graph” of temperature trends. He has been implicated in the hacked emails implicating Hadley CRU, authors of the Hadcut record, in hiding data contrary to global warming and trying to suppress critics. Here is one of the emails addressed to Dr. Mann,

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,
Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or
first thing tomorrow.
I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps
to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from
1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual
land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land
N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with
data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.
Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers
Phil

It is unclear exactly what "Mike’s Nature trick" is, but it appears to help hide the temperature decline. This looks very damning to Dr. Mann.
