The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Introduction to the Hockey Stick

The global warming debate has polarized much of the world. It seems people can't discuss any aspect of the subject without it winding up an "us" versus "them" showdown between two sides. Even worse, the people having these pointless "discussions" generally have a poor grasp of the topics being discussed.

To add to this, there is a great deal of misinformation, and even disinformation, polluting the airwaves. One prime example was world renowned climate scientist Michael Mann, and his book, The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches From the Front Lines.

Mann's book contains many errors, misrepresentations and outright false statements. Responses to his book have been limited primarily to the blogosphere where the average person will never look. Even worse, those responses have been disjointed, broken up across many web pages and scattered throughout numerous discussions.

This book is the first part of an attempt to bring together those responses to create informative counternarrative which allows people to quickly get up to speed on the infamous hockey stick controversy while correcting much of the misinformation present in Mann's book. It covers about half of the hockey stick controversy in slightly over ten thousand words.

A follow-up book is planned to cover the second half of the controversy.
