You're wasting your time conversing with the parent. Mann is a good scientist and there is no credible evidence otherwise.

But let's say the parent could discredit Mann and erase 100% of his research output tomorrow. It would not change the scientific theory of climate change one bit because so many other scientists have now confirmed Mann's findings.

The politics of personal attacks don't work against science because nature is what it is. Once we know something about nature, tearing some guy down personally does not wipe out that knowledge.

But since the attack against Mann is a political campaign run by political operatives (note the link to Tucker Carlson's site the Daily Caller), they don't know any better.
