Climate Craziness of the Week: Supermandia

Mike Mann thinks this is cool.

In case you don’t know, SUNY’s Professor Scott Mandia is the guy running Mike Mann’s legal defense fund.

My only question is, why does he need hip wader boots?

From Scott Mandia’s blog he captions this photo: The Caped Climate Crusader: Battling the evil forces of global warming deniers. “Faster than global T rise, more powerful than a stranded polar bear, able to leap over rising seas in a single bound.”

If he can leap over rising seas, why the hip waders? Must be for wading through something deep, but what could it be?

I’m sure our readers can help correct this caption.

” A caped crusader off to fight the climate wars, may the model forcing be with you!”

Anthony,
Can we get a pic of your irradenscent Skeptical Electric WATTS costume.
Come on. You can show us loyal denizens.
Is your costume in Stevenson screen white?

Regarding the hip waders. You’d think that a dry suit would be more appropriate for the depths of doo-doo that Mann will be in when his buddies can no longer cover for him. He’s going to go down for sure, it’s just a matter of when.

What the heck was he thinking when he had that photo taken?…

It’s a Coprophagous Steatopygian! Those aren’t hip wades for the surrounding BS. They’re for his own involuntary, sudden, explosive diarrhea. It comes from being immersed for long periods in intellectual BS.

Holy hockey sticks, Bat-guano-mann!

You are witnessing the antics of people who claim to have the answer “the greatest ever threat to mankind”.
Their claim is that they can control the temperature of this planet.
Does this exchange convince you that these people and their claims are credible?

I wonder Mann keeps that date annotated Hockey stick on his office wall?
Yeesh, what a dweeb!

Why do climate scientists NEED legal teams when every other field of scientific endeavour seems to muddle along with only the occasional patent claim ??
Says it all I think.

Step into my full contact hockey rink. I’ll be dressed as Gordie Howe c.1955. And they didn’t wear helmets or visors in those days.

Any self respecting warmist would die of embarrassment at this point.

Shub, there is just so much wrong with that statement that I hardly know where to begin.

Can’t be a hockey stick. Everyone knows a hockey stick must be directed down to work. Maybe he’s a swatter of bats.

How long ago was this picture taken? I thought Long Island was blanketed with snow. Now that would have made a much more impressive picture.
Exactly. They leaves haven’t changed much in this picture. Clue?

Ironic when I recall that Mandia was defended on this forum a while back…
Helping running Mann’s defense fund… how about that! With what? Government grants?

For “Un Novis Topic” let’s see who has the best explanation for what the C on his chest represents

Would you buy a used hockey stick from this man?

You mean this is his every day attire?

“After much theorizing on female psychological forcings and Halloween costume trend data, Scott Mandia’s resulting model said this costume was both robust and highly sexy.”

Ask why is it so?

I’ve been worried lately that the CAGW group had been gaining ground but this picture has alleviated all my concerns:)

When Scott Mandia and his fellow ‘Rapid Response Climate Team’ come, who you gonna call?
Call Anthony’s Skeptical Ghostbusters!!!
