If you try to sweep your problems under the rug, they’ll go away, right? Michael Mann, a Penn State professo<\/a>r and a central figure in the Climategate scandal and best known for his “hockey stick graph” hopes so.<\/p>\n

On Fox News Channel’s April 28 broadcast of “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” Elmer Beauregard of Minnesotans for Global Warming<\/a> appeared to explain the reasoning behind a video that drew the ire Mann. The video mocked the Penn State professor’s alleged attempt to cover up data from tree rings that would indicate there was no global warming.<\/p>\n

And I said I could make a funny YouTube video. And so, I did it to the tune of \u2018Draggin’ the Line’ by Tommy James and The Shondells and put it up on YouTube and it went viral. And then Rush [Limbaugh] played it on his show and it went supernova.”<\/p>\n
