In this priceless yet disturbing Twitter exchange with American Meteorological Society president Dr. Marshall Shepherd, Bishop Hill points out another case of Mann Overboard!
It started out innocently enough:
[Shepherd] learned n strange emails/blogs some disagree with my #Tedx Talk, @MichaelEMann HockeyStick discredited (hasn’t), & wx varies-gee “who knew”
[Bishop Hill] @DrShepherd2013 I attended a debate with a paleoclimate guy a few months ago. In q&a he was asked about hockey stick. He said “it’s broken”.
Here’s the full exchange:

Moments later, Shepherd blocked me.

This Mann fellow really is a nasty piece of work isn’t he.

Nothing Says ‘You hit the Carbon Credit Nail on the head…’ Like Being Blocked. Well Played MR. Watts, Well played….
[snip – a bit over the top – Anthony]
Do blocked tweets make it into the NSA/Prism database?
Mann must get arm ache, walking around with his fingers in his ears going LA LA LA all day.
^^^ I suggest you both go back and read the post properly

Btw, today’s the first day this year that I’m wearing short PJs. June 8th. It’s been THAT cold so far.
I turned my furnace back to on in Southern Ontario today. Where is this AGW love. Bring it on. Haven’t seen the sun for 2 weeks!!!!!!!
How very predictable of Mann, AMS needs a new president..as does America!!
I live in southern Ontario, and I had to bring out my winter coat in this first week in June to walk my dog. I have never had to do this before in the month of June, having lived where I do for the past 50 years. Weather is not climate, I know, but for pete’s sake, we in Canada have been looking forward to global warming for so long now – nothing but disappointment so far.
Lynched, burned at the stake, or otherwise killed.
Whipped, beaten, and/or tarred and feathered.
Persecuted and prosecuted by authorities willing to use any bit of secret info they can dig up, real or otherwise, to punish those who would oppose them.
Blocked on Twitter. Or the Graudian. Or ReallyRealClimate. Or SkepSci.
The sacrifices asked of those in service to the truth are indeed great. Lord, grant us the strength to persevere through this suffering.
Odd how this sort of ‘scientist’ tend to shrivel up in the glare of open debate. They seem to only be able to thrive in protected and reified environments, fed on green funds, self delusion and far, far away from the public gaze.

Its like I keep commenting, these sorts will take this “agenda” to their graves – they will NEVER admit to their errors, ( probably rather, subversion ). It’s nothing less than a war now, no need to play nice – that went away a long long time ago.

We turned our furnace back on yesterday in Southern California!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
I feel Shepherd will come to mightily regret that he was lured into such misbehaviour by one so controversial as Mann.
This really does not send a good message to the world about either Shepherd’s integrity, nor the strength of the warmist case.
And the casual observer might wonder just what that mildest of men – Andrew Montford aka Bishop Hill – has done to upset them so much that he has to be banned. Possibly they will discover that he wrote the definitive history of how the Hockey Stick came to be broken and so incurred the wrath of all those who had inadvisedly bet their careers on it remaining as unchallenged ‘truth’.
McIntyre and McKitirck did the hard forensic work, but Mr Montford brought the story to life in his great book ‘The Hockey Stick Illusion’. Think of him as Watson to McSteve’s Sherlock.
And for what did Shepherd blunder so badly? He will make no new friends by this and will likely cement old emnities and start some new ones.
Very poor judgement. Expected of one of Mann’s mistakenly awestruck grad students, but completely unworthy of the President of a (once) prestigious professional society. Together with his laughably lightweight TED talk, I wonder how long he will last in post?
“Nobel prize winner” Mann lives in his own fantasy world.
He has now resorted to defending his fraudulent data grafting pretense at science in the “did…didn’t” world of twitter. Says it all.
To get a broader view of the climate fight and why Dr. Shepherd’s blocking is a prime example of why Warmists are losing I suggest you see Pointman’s post
That’s ba-a-a-a-a-d.
If you could get to a local beach with access to the Pacific Ocean, couldn’t you be getting a nice hot bath in those ever-warming waters?
Be sure to check for a sign from California Department of Parks & Recreation reading “Ocean water is acidic. Swim at your own risk.”

So we have more than a political class that is determined to bankrupt us then!! no sarc unfortunately

Doh
Mr Shepherd says he won’t debate anything that isn’t published in peer- reviewed literature. Given the consistent manipulation of peer-review that Mr. Mann and his cohort have been engaged in, by their own admission, this suggests that Mr. Shepherd is really only willing to “debate” those who have declared themselves to be in 100% agreement with him.
Ewe should be ashamed.
It seems to me that Mann & Company don’t realize that the global warming war is not about warming but rather carbon dioxide not being the root cause of the observed warming from 1980 to 1996. The green dot temperature line in the chart in the twitter exchange started rising about 1820, thereby proving that the root cause could not be carbon dioxide. I don’t believe any of them have testified under oath in a courtroom with a tough hardnosed lawyer doing the cross examination.
