To Mike Mann and his climatologist colleagues, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but I really hope you do. Because I want to tell all those climatologists working in this area struggling valiently to understand what’s happening to our planetary climate regarding Human Induced rapid Global Overheating (or Global warming as others generally call it) and its likely path into the future that you have my respect and my admiration and my thanks.

I know you face death threats from the gibbering idiots out there just for doing your jobs and doing them well. I know you have had your patience tested and your words and integrity rudely tediously, ceaselessly questioned by ignorami driven by ideology who wouldn’t know good science and reality if it kicked them in the groin.

I think the persecution of Mike Mann by Ken Cuccinelli and others has been an inexcusable disgrace and that its long since time people gave as much respect to NASA’s top climatologists they do to NASA’s top rocket scientists and flight surgeons.

If any climate scientists are reading this comment – please pass on my thanks and appreciation to your colleagues and reassure them all that there’s a truckload of people are out there willing to listen and cheering you on. I’m just one of them.

Thankyou again & best regards :
