Picket protest planned for Mann

Elmer at Minnesotans for Global Warming writes in with this, so I’m passing it on:

Michael Mann the self proclaimed creator of the “Hockey Stick Chart” will be speaking at the Minneapolis Convention Center tomorrow afternoon. He will be discussing Climate Scientists in the Public Area: Who’s Got Our Backs?.

In honor of this historic visit there will be two chances to carry signs and welcome Dr. Mann to the Twin Cities.

What: Welcoming Committee Demonstration

Who: Concerned citizens, Minnesota Majority, Minnesota Free Market  Institute, Minnesotans for Global Warming

When: Wednesday, October 12th, 1:00-2:00 PM with a follow-up demonstration from 5:00-6:00 PM

Where: Sidewalk, North Side of Minneapolis Convention Center

Contact: Dan McGrath, 612-605-3303 ext. 703

He loves attention , so the worse thing you can do is give him none , you know what his going to say and you know the ‘crowd’ inside will be AGW friendly and there is no chance of him beign challenged, otherwise he never turn up.
In other words a total none-event .

How about some suggestions for signs?
“Mann-made Global Warming Is A Taxpayer Scam”, etc.

Who’s Got Our Backs?.
Does that look like a threat to the people funding this whole lie?
Cover my back or I am taking you with me?

Should that be “Climate Scientists in the Public Area: Who’s got our Bucks?”

Hope M4GW will be playing “Hide the Decline” and “I’m a Denier” at the gate.

How about carrying a rail so the tar and feathers don’t get on the clothing?

Global Warming Mann-made!

Ignoring him would be better.
He can just turn to his peers and say look all these people are against me, they must be ‘anti-science’ ‘denier’ with fossil fuel sponsors sent out to smaerme..
Thus any doubters in his immdeiate community will feel duty bound to defend ‘science’, rather than ask him questions, or actually talk to sceptics.

Not enough time to grow a beard and not shave.
Can’t show up without the hallmarks of the March on Wall Street Crowd.
Of course then, the EVIL tactic of the NYPD to put up barrier ropes with SOAP attached, probably won’t work on the MFGW crowd, either.

Protesting against him is unfortunately going to make it easier for him to talk about his chosen topic of

“Climate Scientists in the Public Area:
Who’s Got Our Backs?”

He’ll make the protest the focus of his presentation.

If Benjamin Disraeli were alive he’d say “There are lies, damned lies…and Hockey Sticks”

Placard:
Global Warmists won’t debate
with Climate Skeptics
because Skeptics Know
– And Can Show –
The Official Science Is Phony
Have a good time Elmer.

We need a big sign saying : “There is no creditable experiment proving the “greenhouse gas effect exists” Mann-made global warming is a fairy-tale made up by the Gorezillas.

I will add my voice to the ‘Ignore him…’ and ‘Don’t embarrass the rest of us by acting stupid!’ calls. Please.

“Climate Scientists in the Public Area”… I am guessing it’s “Arena”.

Minneapolis forecast for Wed is daytime temps between 65-70, with 70% chance of rain or T-storms. ….. If Al Gore decides to show up at the last minute, dress warmer.
I might suggest for those who do plan on being there…a few placards pointing out that “NO ONE is funding this protest”, “NO ONE has OUR backs”, and “TRUTH has the back of SCIENCE”, or….”SCIENCE doesn’t need clever tricks”….or “SCIENCE doesn’t need to hide a decline”

The only hot air is Mann made.

I’m aware that many of us do not agree with Dr.Mann’s work, but how would we feel if a protest was organised against Anthony at a speaking engagement? Would we feel dissent was being suppressed? Free speech is critical, the right to protest is critical. If we feel this protest against Dr Mann is OK, we must also support the right of the protesters in Wall street and and protests aimed at ideas we believe in.
