The Law Of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming Decay
The Law Of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) Decay predicts how the number of the not-debunked claims by a given media-active warmist decreases in the course of time.
Half-life rates vary: 2 minutes in the case of a claim appearing on Skeptical Science, 10 minutes for a Romm blog, 15 minutes for a Gore “Truth”, a day for Hansen’s and Schmidt’s remarks and up to 3 months for a Mann Finding.
The last example’s survival ability is easily explained as the result of using obfuscatory tactics and a different physics.
Note that the half-life of claims can approach zero, as in the case of Briffa and Jones where public statements are contradicted immediately via non-public email.

CAGW
I m not sure about Mann. After all, the original hockeystick from 1998 is still being used and it took M&M a few years to show how fundamentally flawed the maths were. However, it only took about 18 months for them to break Mann’s 2008 effusion. So maybe the current half-life is reduced to 3 months or so…:) However, I am fairly sure that one or even both of his discredited graphs will appear in the next IPCC report.
