Scott Mandia aka “SuperMandia” (seen at left) outdoes himself with a new level of craziness. And here we thought Mike Mann really didn’t like hockey stick icons:
“I always thought it was somewhat misplaced to make it a central icon of the climate change debate,” [Mann] said.

Hold that thought, because SuperMandia is ready to leap tall tales with a single bound!
On Mandia’s Blog we have this: Support Climate Scientists & Look Cool Doing So!
Help the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund (CSLDF) raise money to cover the costs of Dr. Mann’s legal defense as well as other scientists who face similar challenges. To help raise money and reward those that contribute, we have rounded up some cool designs and gifts. CSLDF thanks Nicole Martinez and Lunchbreath who were kind enough to donate their designs for this fundraiser.
$25 gets you one of our t-shirts. They will be delivered a couple weeks after the fundraiser is over. We will check in with you about which design you want and what size.
$50 gets two of the t-shirts.
$75 gets all three of the t-shirts and our true gratitude.
$150 gets you all three of the t-shirts and a copy of Climate Change: Picturing the Science signed by Joshua Wolfe (www.picturingclimatechange.com)
$300 gets you a hockey stick signed by Mike Mann.
Mike Mann thought the icon was misplaced, and tried to minimize it in media reports, but it is OK to use it to to make money as a signed icon by the icon himself? What a freaking hypocrite.
You misunderstood…Mandia, like most mainstream climatologists, is used to forecast the past.
Hence his delayed April Fools’ Day.
The CSLDF team, after disentangling their tongues, simply observed an increase in Fool-O2 at the weekend and have already prepared a model showing silly stuff will be said in evermore great quantities by people. Especially by CSLDF people.
No discounts for buying more than one t shirt? What a rip off. And does SM have any idea how stupid he looks in that outfit?
I have a hard time believing anyone that “teaches” at a major university… and we’re supposed to believe that someone that teaches at a community college has all the answers?
Those who can, do (by working in industry). Those that can’t, teach (at a major university). And those that can’t teach at a major university, teach at a community college.
Hahahahahahahaha!…uh……Hahahahahahaha! Oh mann this is nutty.
Wow. Mandia is a professor? Looks more like a complete dolt to me, after reading this post:
http://profmandia.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/do-not-take-your-eyes-off-lex-luthor-heartland-institute/
Amazing answers by him to his commenters, like this one:
“Mandia: Even President Obama would not accept a debate about whether the earth is flat or spherical. There are NO unresolved issues as to WHY the earth is warming. No debate about that.”
I love “Big Bang Theory”. But the truth is stranger than fiction!
When is the induction ceremony at the hockey hall of fame in Toronto LOL!
It will look good beside Bobby Orr’s and Wayne Gretzky’s sticks!
They pretended to know the future and now they pretend to be celebrities in need of cash and worthy of fans. Is this a problem for their employers or is this normal?
For $600 do we get to whack him with it?
Hey, we have to leave climbdown space for these individuals. Persecution is not the answer. Maybe they need re-education in some kind of camp or something.
It seems that the genius plan to evangelise climate catastrophism by promoting feeble-minded degenerates to positions of influence has a fatal flaw:
The morons are too stupid to keep their increasingly ludicrous stories straight.
This was unavoidable since even Galileo and Newton were renowned for dressing up like clowns, repeatedly talking utter self-contradictory bollocks, refusing to share their data and methods with others and then falsely accusing their critics – who they refused to debate – of being “industry-funded deniariamalists”.
It’s their vocation. We pay these idiots
savantsto sit in their ivory towers, play dress-up and computer games and then talk out their arses to accuse us of being mentally ill – all because we have compassion for their mental deficiencies.Every signed hockey stick you buy could save a single brain-cell of one of these adorable unfortunates.
Limit: two per customer.
I was wondering how big of an idiot one would have to be to pose as “super mandia”.
i still am wondering.
I would have lost my job in the meantime.
Go on, Professor mandia!
But my kids will prove to be immune to your cheap rhetorics.
One of these signed hockey sticks will go nicely alongside the monitor and keyboard that I picked up at the ’09 auction of Bernie Madoff’s office furnishings.
If in doubt, Stick it out.
CSLDF = Climate Scam Laughable Defence Fund

If Britain has more winters lack the last, those hockey sticks will come in handy.

Near as I can tell, he has one reply on the blog:
from Anthony.
Question: Why can’t these climate scientists spend their own money for their defense?
The old Biblical proverb is still true today — “He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver.” That is from Ecclesiastes 5:10. I really like that proverb. These people make plenty of money from both taxpayers and grants and yet they still ask for more. Why can’t they spend their own money? I guess it is easier to play a victim and have other people to pay for their problems. When I think about such people, I think of my favorite proverb “That which is made crooked cannot be made straight.” That is from Ecclesiastes 1:15.
Dave says “Those who can, do (by working in industry). Those that can’t, teach (at a major university).”
Excellent!
The version I learned during my time as a professor was the following-
Those that can, do.
Those that can’t, teach.
Those that can’t teach, teach others to teach.
Those that can’t teach others to teach, write books about teaching.
Those that can’t write or teach, become administrators.
At least he has a sense of humor, I would have thought that, since all of you enjoy Josh’s work so much, a little absurdity would at least rate a chuckle.
Color me disappointed.

“$75 gets all three of the t-shirts and our true gratitude.”
Uhmm, does that mean that donations less than that amount garner their false gratitude?
