Climate Change Report was a Copy and Paste Affair?

Statistician Edward Wegman has alleged that research report on climate change led by scientist Michael Mann was a copy and paste affair. The research report had claimed that global temperatures were highest in the last century than the previous 1,000 years. Wegman says 'significant' sections of the 91-page report were lifted from 'textbooks, Wikipedia and the writings of one of the scientists criticised in the report'.

Computer expert John Mashey says 35 of the report's 91 pages were 'mostly plagiarized.

We at tahrcountry are shocked by the academic impropriety.
