From Gavin, who was being a bit cheeky. Or perhaps given the location, had passed a tippling point.
For those who don’t get the joke, the letters M, B, and H should ring a bell.
On a side note, the balding with goatee/beard to clean shaven ratio at AGU 2013 wasn’t nearly as high as I expected it to be. I’d say about 1-10. It seems to be a trait of Real Climate scientists, tectonic and geology guys, not so much.

Too cold for sandals I presume?

I was going to comment on the high ratio of balding pates in the photo at Judith Lean’s presentation.

I don’t get the joke.
Mann, Bradley & Hughes (1999), a/k/a Mann, et al, the infamous hockey stick paper.
“Ohhh!” – exuent stage left.
Sweaters? I’d be wearing my short sleeved shirts. Ah well, lots of Swedish genes and living in New Hampshire. It does seem a cooler than usual lately, even at work.
Does the temperature in some meeting rooms drop by 5 degrees when you walk in?
Moe, Larry, & Curly
Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck…
louis H,,reckon thats the winner line.
maybe we could make the N silent and just have Yuck yuck yuck..
more suited to the above terrible trio 🙂
Is that Peter Geick in the background?
Quite a gallery of something-or-others.
Was it taken at the “Ethics breakout session” per chance?
Looks like a den of sleaze.
Gee, wish big oil would pay for me to go to fun gatherings
always pay my way
Shouldn’t it be “et” on Ray’s napkin? Given how far our there these three are, ET is probably more appropriate however.
I’m assuming they passed their tipping point in a bar. If so, then did those three merry pranksters who passed their tipping point engage in the proper practice of adequate tipping?
I think the answer to that question depends upon whether they were at that convention on the taxpayer dime (silly question, I know).
If the tipping was funded courtesy of the taxpayer then I’ll bet Harry, Moe, and Larry tipped lavishly.
If the tipping was funded out of their own pockets – not so much.
It would be interesting to know how the AGU meeting rooms are heated and
What are the thermostats set at.
“On a side note, the balding with goatee”
Pedant mode: Actually Mann’s isn’t a Goatee, it’s a Van Dyke, modern hijacked usage not withstanding. So there probably weren’t many goatees at all.

The three **** monkeys. Please fill in as you see fit.
Those three have nothing to be proud of.
More often than not, there does seem to be a strong correlation between leftism and facial hair, at least in urban areas.
Strange, since Lenin considered beards archaic, feudal and unbecoming of the new Soviet man.
THE HOCKEY STICK
There was a crooked Mann
Who played a crooked trick
And had a crooked plan
To make a crooked stick
By using crooked math
That favored crooked lines
Lysenko’s crooked path
Led thru the crooked pines
And all his crooked friends
Applaud what crooked seems
But all that crooked ends
Derives from crooked means

Literary Alert!!!! — I have completed my poem
“Al Gore — American Bloviator”. Soon to be
appearing here on these pages.

So that’s why George RR Martin is taking so long with the next Game of Thrones book. He has been busy writing fiction for Michael Mann…..

“Does the temperature in some meeting rooms drop by 5 degrees when you walk in?”
If it does, they’ll just say the room was colder before Anthony came in and adjust the temperatures upwards when hes not looking….

It’s just par for the course. Someone else on a different website pointed out:
2 Years between books 1 and 2
2 Years between books 2 and 3
5 Years between books 3 and 4
6 Years between books 4 and 5
Martin seems to have his own hockey stick of increasing years between books. Hopefully HBO will kick his butt to get book 6 out by when they need it. Book 7? Who knows.
Winter is coming.
