very interesting read
There are two very interesting aspects of this book. First, we get to hear about the 'hockey stick' temperature reconstruction from the horse's mouth, instead of being subjected to constant misrepresentations of the research from climate deniers. Secondly, we learn what it's like to be on the receiving end of the incessant personal threats and attacks from the climate deniers, directed towards climate scientists.
Michael Mann has been on the receiving end of the attacks since the climate denial movement began. It's fascinating to read his story on the subject.
