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.
h/t to Tom Nelson.

Yes, but is he faster than a speeding bullet?
Interesting experiment? GK

I have a Manure scoop he can borrow to go with the hip waders. A hockey schtick just doesn’t work that well for scooping poop.
New caption: “The Walter Mitty of the Climate Doomsday Cult”
“If I’m going to push this hockey stick graph, I’d better put on my hip waders.”
Not even Halloween is an excuse for that.
BTW, to those making reference to Robin — you’re bats. As in Batman bats. Soopman don’t have no sidekicks.
What he said just before the photograph was taken: “Hey, you don’t really have that camera turned on, do you?”
Alternatively, I wonder what the bet was about. The bet that he obviously lost.
The wading boots are hoot and very telling. He certainly isn’t carrying a fly rod either. The bullshit must be even deeper than previously though…
My only question is, why does he need hip wader boots?
Sea level rise, of course.
…and these people are asking us to take their CAGW crap-trap SERIOUSLY?
I mean, I thought we were fighting for the future of mankind, Hansen’s grandkids, polar bears etc. and they WANT to associate with this image of a w*nker in his jammies??
(Sorry, am I allowed to call the twit a w*nker on WUWT? Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving!)
Hip boots are not worn in hockey but are often worn by pole dancers.
