He didn't court controversy, but is happy to make use of it

(From the blog: This
article introduces a view on the controversy surrounding climate change. It
revolves around a central figure of the debate, prof. M. Man. After introducing
his famous “hockey stick” type reproduction of climate evolution during the
past few centuries, he has been the target of a heated criticism. The criticism
involves data used, models, assumed intentions which shifts the issue into
politics. We are not climatologists. We know for sure that polar icecaps are
melting. Therefore we could summarize the ongoing debate into two fundamental
questions. First, are the observed changes long-term trends? And second: Can we quantify
the human related contribution to global climate?)
