Professor Michael Mann: Ken Cuccinelli Subpoenaed My Emails

Scientists shouldn't have to look over their shoulders whenever they do work whose conclusions might offend somebody with a political ax to grind."

That's what the Richmond Times Dispatch had to say about Ken Cuccinelli's investigation of my research at the University of Virginia. He subpoenaed thousands of documents about my work in climate science — just because he didn't like my academic conclusions.

I've moved my research to Penn State, but I was back in the Commonwealth this week meeting with scientists and researchers at some of our leading universities to make sure they know one thing:

Terry McAuliffe believes science is science and thinks researchers should be able to do their work without government interference.

If you agree that science is science, please add your name to this petition telling Ken Cuccinelli that politicians have no business investigating scientific research they don't agree with:

Thanks for standing up for science — and for me.

Sincerely,

Professor Michael Mann
