Congratulations to all. I really had hoped Donna Laframboise would have placed first in that last category, but my sincere thanks to all who voted, just the same.
The poll for “Climate Duplicitist of the Year”, now closed, revealed a clear winner

I hear there’s a blank spot on his wall.
Well done, and congratulations all round!
Even the CDOTY awardee, Dr Mann! A sublime performance on several fronts.
He can hang it right next to his Nobel certificates.
To formally acknowledge his duplicity, perhaps we should refer to him henceforth as
Dr. MMaann.
I see the obvious jokes have already been made, so I’ll just say congratulations. 🙂

Yeah, that’s where scientists typically hang their certificate of Common Sense and Academic Integrity.
CONGRATULATIONS, TO ALL …
but, especially to you, our wonderful host, ANTHONY!!
YOU’RE A ROCKSTAR!
“All Star” — Smashmouth
Way to break the mold, Anthony.
Keep up the great work!

I recommend the Climate Duplicist Aware be awarded in absentia at the Las Vegas conference on Climate Change this summer.
….but will Mann hang it upside down?
Congratulations, Anthony. Thanks for the great resource.
Congrats – all the way around!
Congratulations to all the Bloggers—and thank you for doing what you do: I learn a great deal from you all, and the people I meet here. I’d pass on my condolences to Dr. Mann, but truly, he earned his award; condolences are not in order. My question is, what to give him?
If you’re still thinking about an appropriate award, Anthony, if one can be found, I suggest the puppet head on a stick, as seen carried about by the Court Jester in movies about medieval times—they were typically two-faced (like the expected behaviour of a duplicitous person), laughing on one side, crying on the other, like a 14th century prompt to the studio audience (“Laughter!” “Groans of dismay!”). I think it would be very appropos for another reason: when sanity returns and all the alarmists are forced to go find something else about which to create drama and crises, Dr. Mann can take his show on the road, performing a one-man show, perhaps “The Burning Hockeystick,” an updated version of Aesop’s fable about the boy who cried, “Wolf!”—and he’ll be armed with his own audience prompt!
If one can’t be found, one could be made…with a miniature hockeystick as the handle!
Just thinkin’ out loud…
(G’day, Janice!)
‘Scuse… I did mean take his show on the road, performing a one-Mann show…
Congratulations to Dr. Michael Mann. The award to Dr. Mann will be sent next week.
Since we got to vote for the winner, don’t we get to vote for the prize?
I’d like to suggest a speaking slot at the Heartland conference in Vegas….
I’d even donate to cover part of his expenses….
Provided he agrees to answer questions….
Ah, he’d decline. How about a calendar with the instructions for how to make a calendar online spread out across the 12 months?
Well, what a pleasant surprise to NOT be ignored —
Hi, Pat! #(:))
Hope all is following winds and fair seas for you and Einstein and Merci and Jack Russell and Cassie (…… oh,…. yeah, aaaand the cat).
Jester tragedy-comedy mask idea is a good one!
Janice
Lifetime Achievement: Michael Mann for “Climate Duplicitist of the Year”.
Award: Golden
GlobeGlobal WarmingOne bad turn deserves another; only send him half a Josh calendar this year. The first half of last years calendar should do.
Whew! Glad I included the cat!
Hi, Mark — hope you and both your cats are doing well.

re: Robert in Calgary at 8:38:
+1
Cheers to all.
Now going to put out the fire I lit for Earth “hour.”
Then turn the lights out and go to bed.
Thanks Mark!
(Riley the German Shepherd is kind of growling about being called that, though. “I am a DOG,” he shouted.)
Thank you for the good wishes,

*********************************
@ur momisugly Needle Factory re: +1, I second that! Nice one, Robert (at 8:38pm).
lol
As part of his prize….may I suggest sunscreen, SPF 100, and a solar-operated fan? Perhaps a carbon credit or two? Perhaps it could be done up in a lovely gift basket….
“… there’s a blank spot …
“Blank”? “Blind”, as I see it …
Congratulations to mr. Watts and his staff. Keep on trucking.!!!
