UPDATE: uh oh
The National Review decided to offer congratulations to Dr. Mann, they write:
Honoring Michael Mann’s Nobel Prize
To mark Michael Mann’s Nobel Prize, we bought this full-page ad that ran in today’s Penn State student newspaper.
—Rich Lowry is the editor of National Review.
h/t to WUWT reader Frank K
UPDATE: Proof that it actually ran, here
h/t to Brian Lemon
It is fitting that this partial share of a Nobel prize came under the Politicking category, and not as Science.
[snip – funny but a bit over the top -mod]
That’s just plain cold-hearted. I like it.

Hate it when the mod snips stuff and calls it funny—-mod just snip it don’t tell me it’s funny.

Leaders Undone By Resume Fraud
Scott Thompson – After spending only a few months as CEO of Yahoo!, Thompson was fired when an activist investor revealed he did not actually hold a degree in computer science from StoneHill College, as his credentials had said. His degree was actually in business.
Ronald Zarrella – In 2002, the CEO of Bausch & Lomb offered to resign after it was revealed he did not actually have a master’s degree in business administration from New York University, which he had listed on his resume for a decade. His $1.1 million bonus was revoked.
Ken Lonchar – The executive vice president and chief financial officer of Veritas software–now Symantec–resigned after reports that he embellished his resume with a fake MBA from Standford University.
Joe Biden – Now the vice president of the United States, Biden dropped out of the 1988 president race after it was found he had plagiarized during his time as a law student, made false claims about his academic history, and plagiarized a speech.
Marille Jones – Jones resigned as dean of admissions at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007, after admitting she had lied about her academic degrees on her application to work there 28 years before.

Satire is good. The more biting the better. Unfortunately it is only those who are secure within, that can laugh at themselves and celebrate it with others.
Oh, that’s gotta sting like mad.
So why am I laughing so hard?!
Well played, NRO, extremely well played. 🙂
This is brutal. What extremists like Mann cannot deal with, is being the laughing stock of the Nation.
Outstandingly embarrassing !
With all that rain, there must be a fresh sinkhole nearby he can crawl into.
Nicholas – it was just a variation on this: http://www.cartoonsbyjosh.com/smart_room_scr.jpg

Pretty cheap shot……
….but then again, if anyone was ever more deserving of a cheap shot…
Claiming a Nobel Prize where none has been given is fraud. Not a laughing matter. It lends credence to the charge of fraud often spoken by many skeptics and ridiculed as being paranoid by AGWers.
I would have preferred to have had the previous sticky about Mann’s suit still at the top. The comments may have been getting unwieldy but there was still some good conversation going on. Sadly that all ends in a day as soon as the post drops from the front.
Ah well, my only comment about this article is: The headline is genius!
Haha – given how over the top the advert is these snipped comments must be really really over the top.
Apparently the last-mentioned Rigoberta Menchu was accused of stretching the truth a bit in her dictated autobiography “… to meet the publicity needs of the guerrilla movement…”

An attempt by Mann to intimidate Steyn and National Review seems to be falling just a tad below Mickey’s expectations!
To buy ad space in the Penn State newspaper – brilliant!
Steyn’s cojones are impressive!
MegaloMann will probably have the editor of the student newspaper fired for carrying this. He or she will then join a very distinguished cohort…
No sense of humour, some people.
[self snip]
Ha ha mod, beat you to it!
Priceless, absolutely priceless!
Ayup. As expected, NRO is enjoying this lawsuit. Well played.
Poor Mike. I can picture him sitting there staring at that ad… “But… but… my lawyer said they’d be intimidated by the lawsuit.”
I like it!
Why would Mann not treat the ad as legitimate. Isn’t that the Mann way?
