The efforts described in this article about the "CTI Files" follow directly from the actions of Professor Michael Mann. He is the author of the "Hockey Stick" version of Global Warming. His paper was published in Nature, April 23, 1998. What Mann did subsequently and very successfully was to recruit a group of "volunteers" to instantly quash any publication or author skeptical of Mann's thesis. This is exactly the path of Terp, Breuer, and Krebs but on a much larger scale.

Just wait until AI is full blown. It will become difficult to impossible to discern fact from fiction.
