PowerLine article entitled:
The Hockey Stick Hoax

I can't put this stuff into sentences when it really counts, but some otherwise very smart people have just swallowed this theory whole. They think it is because I don't understand the science. I'm sure there is lots of climate temperature transference physics that I could use a brush up with, but I understand human nature all too well, including the drive for dominance, and greed.
More recent scientific work has thoroughly debunked the Mann "hockey stick" analysis. It has been shown to rest on "collation errors, unjustified truncation or extrapolation of source data, obsolete data, incorrect principal component calculations, geographical mislocations and other serious defects," as well as "incorrect mathematics." There are indications, at least, that some of the errors on the part of Mann and his collaborators were deliberate--an instance of the corruption of science by politics and perverse financial incentives that underlies the entire global warming movement.

CO2 sceptics has a good set of articles, original perhaps.
