Plain & Simple, the Piltdown Mann’s gardening is a powerful blowback from the policymakers. It’s an ill wind that blows no one fair.

Oh my goodness! He created a twitter account along with 200 millions others!
I look forward to the daily reports concerning his bowel movements.

Extensive organized assault?
The kindest thing I can say is that Mann isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Interesting that a key figure in ClimateGate scandal considers FOIA requests an “assault”. I’ve always understood that a fundamental principal of research and its publication was that data was made available for peer verification. Silly me!

I don’t want to follow Mann anywhere but curiosity won and I went on Facebook. BP now raised thank you WUWT. I do wonder what the human race is coming to, maybe all that AGW has fried their brains. I did like the bit about how the vatican is enlightened though, well history has endorsed that. /sarc.
I am not a scientist but the arguments against AGW are overwhelmingly rational and make sense, i do not understand why this is not more generally the common view.
Incidently, i am puzzling why I found the recent posts on fuel usage,engines in Alaska ( I know nothing aboutt engines), heating pads etc so very interesting and illuminating… 2 hours went by in a flash, but that I guess is the beauty of WUWT so thanks.

I don’t need to follow the Piltdown Mann to hear irrational bitching and complaining.

Is Mann being advised by a PR agency?

October 6, 2011 9:30 am

FOIAs are now equivalent to assaults? Then all journalists should be locked up.

Will the editors of Twitter resign?

Wow, it certainly has become a full frontal PR/legal assault from the Mann.
There seems to be little doubt that the e-mails that are being sought under FOI must contain some pretty damaging stuff.
Who knows how long it will take for all this to play out, but in the end, history will not be kind to this fellow.

Yep, that “extensive, organized FOIA assault.” It’s a vast conspiracy.

“The heartbreak of proctocraniosis.”
For those that don’t know, proctocraniosis is the clinical name for what’s commonly known as Asshat Syndrome.

On the plus side, maybe he will pull an “Anthony Weiner” and send out a tweet that was only meant for Team members !!!
(not meaning that he would send a lewd photo, but private data)
Interesting list of people that he follows.

I love the picture above. The expression on the man in the background is priceless. Kinda like “Oh man[n], here we go again…..”

FOIA “assault”? Dramatic much?

Mann doesn’t like the “organised” FOI assault? Shame he completely fails to hold up his hand to his shameless, organised assault upon science.

So do I.
The expression of the guy seated next to Mann seems to say, “….did they have to seat me next to this (fill in the blank), I hope his reputation doesn’t rub off…”
I think I see him edging sideway to disassociate himself.

I wonder if the PR team airbrushed Mann’s picture. He doesn’t look as ….well, …chubby ….as he usually does in photos. Something droll about the idea of a portly person urging self-denial on the rest of us.
REPLY: I don’t think that’s a relevant issue – Anthony

He should go home and take a shave.
H/t MLM.

Welcome to cyberspace, Dr. Mann….it is “the great equalizer.” I hope you like that I pasted the WUWT link below to your Facebook site since you have already begun discussing it!! You cannot control FB quite as easily as Real Climate.

Really kinda puts Brune’s mention of Mann being on sabbatical to study climate communication into perspective, doesn’t it?

Never bothered with twitter, I treat twitter like I would do with a plague rat, Piltdown-E-mann’s presence on said networking site, accordingly, is an excellent reason to cast it out of my mind forever.
