Mann's work is still periferal to current core climatology
You are presuming that accepted practices include a bias toward global warming to the detriment of the scientific truth. I think you need to provide some solid evidence for that, not just a bunch of hand waving. As I have said in other posts these scientists are smart guys. They have to know that if they are perverting the science dishonestly for political reasons they will be found out sooner or later and their scientific reputations will be destroyed. If science is a search for objective truth then any deception will be discovered eventually. So that conspiracy theory just doesn't hold water for me.
