Dr. Tim Ball Interview, Climate History Rewriting

In a featured audio clip, Dr. Tim Ball explains his defense against Michael Mann's lawsuit, alleging that Mann "rewrote climate history" by removing the Medieval Warm Period from his models. Ball claims Mann grafted modern instrumental temperature records onto cherry-picked tree ring data to create the illusion of unprecedented warming. The segment criticizes the UN IPCC for using the hockey stick graph as a primary tool for climate policy.

No Agenda Producers, Computer America Call-In Prank

The caller used the opportunity to reference show-internal jokes while the host remained unaware of the prank. The segment concludes with a discussion on how hard clocks in syndicated radio prevent substantive dialogue and how a secondary "show" happened in the No Agenda chat room during the broadcast.
