Very short diary here.
Dr. Mann has had it with denier lies and smears and has retained a kick*ss legal firm to go after National Review. Popcorn-worthly details at the following links.

The nasty-gram that Dr. Mann's legal firm just sent to NR can be found here: http://climatecrock.files.wordpress.com/...
Edited to add: oops -- that wasn't all of the letter. Here are links to the rest:

It looks like Dr. Mann is "going nuclear" (and it's about f*&!ing time). When you are dealing with slimeball deniers, that "gentleman and scholar" stuff will take you only so far...
If you are so inclined, please do stop by Dr. Mann's FB page and leave some words of encouragement.
And then stock up on the popcorn. With the drought (likely worsened by global-warming) hammering the corn crop, popcorn could be a bit pricey by the time legal proceedings get under way.
That is all -- nothing else past the jump.
