RealClimate has ties to Environmental Media Services, Fenton Communications and Al Gore. They make claims that tend to mislead and then censor any debate.
For example, they claim the NAS panel supported Michael Mann (one of their contributors) in the controversy with Stephen McIntyre over the Hockey Stick. Not true.
While the panel was polite to Mann, the NAS panel supported McIntyre on all the important points of science.
Mann claimed that his method was robust and not dependent on any one data set. McIntyre showed that his results were dependent on the bristlecone pine series and that when this series was taken out of the PC1, it yielded no hockey stick. The Wegman Report agreed. McIntyre further claimed the bristlecone pine series was not a temperature proxy. The NAS panel agreed with McIntyre that strip bark bristlecone pine series should not be used in temperature reconstructions.
