But you are quite happy to disparage something you are clueless about. Is that what qualifies you to lecture on Climate Science, and mainain your loyalty to Mann?
The Hockey Stick Illusion is an account, written by an Acountant. It would be a good starting point for anyone looking to investigate financial fraud committed against US, UK, and EU taxpayers, that Governments have been avoiding since, and before Climategate

I tend not to buy books which claim that well-established science is wrong.
I would not buy "The Hockey Stick Illusion" for the same reason that I would not buy a book claiming to prove that the Earth was flat.
If someone were willing to give me a free copy, then I might read it for the entertainment value, red pencil in hand.

The problem with non-scientists is that they give false information, as Lord Lawson did in a 2017interview. You will recall that he claimed that temperatures had not risen for ten years. The GWPF later admitted that he was wrong.
Contrarians are entitled to their own opinions, they are not allowed to invent their own facts.

TonyN's offering is even more chilling now than it was at the time - since we can attach the strategy to events and policies that are still playing out.
I don't think it's an overstatement to call it evil.

They usually ended up interviewing politicians like Lord Lawson or accountants like Andrew Montford.

Did you ever read "The Hockey Stick Illusion" by Andrew Montford, or have you relied on the dodgy opinions of Climate Scientists and their professional advocates who didn't read it either?

The Mo premium spat could well run with m'lerned frenz - there are few seriously expensive barristers who don't itemise human rights and discrimination as specialties. If some attribute of an application has verifiable, multiple cross correlations that stand up to rigorous statistics - the insurance companies are bound to use it.
That said - I really would expect some utterly bizarro correlations to get spat out of the data churning that must be driving actuarial analysis these days.
I could change my name, fashionably change gender etc., etc. ....any way it goes the lawyers win

@Tomo re Mo Premium
The lawyer said it doesn't matter the mechanism it's the outcome
.... If Khan's end up with higher premium than whites , based purely on name , then that is illegal racist discrimination.

Climate Scientists have been depending on false information and lies, that they supply to each other, and then claim to have had corroborated, independently.
Climate Scientists are entitled to their own opinions, but without any evidence, should not expect taxpayer funding.
Trump knows this, and some of his advisers probably have read The Hockey Stick Illusion by Andrew Monford, details at the top right of the sidebar.
