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
How about the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction?
Wow….Rich Lowry… that even made me uncomfortable!
What a pathetic sham Mann is.
A sham and an object of ridicule.
How low can you go to say that you are a nobel prize winner. What a grandiose louse.
Most Nobel Laureates are reluctant publicly.
Mann is making himself a meaning beyond his name…. a self-inflated delusional mega-maniacle liar.
100 years from now, to be called a “mann” will be banned as hate speech.
Please allow me to [snip – over the top – 😉 ] (Self snip).
Rich Lowry, are you hiring?
In situations like this, I cannot help but think of the famous “Voltaire’s prayer.” Voltaire once wrote,
I have always made one prayer to God, that is very short. Here it is: “My God, make our enemies quite ridiculous!” God granted it to me.
(J’ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte. La voici: Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules! Dieu m’a exaucé.)
It looks like Voltaire’s Prayer is being granted to Mark Steyn as well.
I hope Casey McDermott, editor-in-chief of the PSU Daily Collegian, knows the path to Dr. Mann’s office and knows how to properly kowtow. If not, instructions on how to kowtow can be found at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/kowtow.
Oh my, ya would never know its Halloween 🙂
Kinda like a scary commercial.
Do not click this link……!
Beautiful. Well played NR and kudos to the newspaper for running it! The Mann is an embarrassment to science. The tide is definitely turning.
Mann has tenure at Penn State. About ten year to live this one down.
new word….Mannnerisms.. with 3 n’s.?
We just need the right dictoionary definition. 😉

Re Rigoberta Menchú: While their is some doubt about elements of her story, it seems generally accepted that she was deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize. (other than David Horowitz attempting to label her as a “Marxist terrorist). Rather a pity they had to use the comparison. Unnecessary.
“Some doubt”?? Even the New York Times said that Rigoberta Menchu “fabricated,” “seriously exaggerated,” and told “one lie after another” in her testimonial. However, the Nobel Prize Committee let her keep the award because of the good it did by exposing the brutal Guatemalan Army. In other words, they applied the “fake but true” defense that Dan Rather used 10 years later when he was caught releasing forged documents about Pres. Bush’s National Guard service. In the end, I expect Prof. Mann will rely on the same defense.
In the aftermath to come for Pennsylvania State University … unfortunately … they as in the Administration can still disown Michael E. Mann and all of the suffering that he has bestowed upon the Pennsylvania State University and the good peoples of Pennsylvania.
Such will take courage.
Does the Administration of the Pennsylvania State University have COURAGE?
Ball’s is in your court Penn State … What’cha gona do withit?

Brian Lemon, thanks for posting the digital hard copy. I looked at the online version, but no ads there. Love actually seeing it in print.
How long before Mann insists on a retraction in the next edition of the Daily Collegian?
Keep an eye out for the next couple of issues. They should be FUN.
Awarding the peace prize to the IPCC was illegal too- the terms of Nobel’s will clearly state the person who…..
Not organisation; person.
Good but they used the wrong pic: Mann took a more solemn pose too expressly for promoting himself as the stoic pragmatist – as we’d expect a Nobel Laureate to be.

This pic is the upbeat one for party invitations and dating sites.

That would make an excellent followup add for NRO … well NRO ? 😉
Wow–a full page, no less.
Positioned right after the “Complaints” paragraph on the previous page, and right before the “Free-falling” sports page after it. Coincidence? Maybe.

Good catch, Mark! Easily verified at http://www.nobelprize.org/alfred_nobel/will/will-full.html.
Maybe Mann should have heeded that advice given early last century by H. L. Mencken:
“Never get into an argument with a man who buys his ink by the barrel.”
.
.
* Variously credited to Franklin Delano Roosevelt on an occasion as President he was in an argument with publisher William Randolph Hearst, also Benjamin Franklin, and William I. Greener as “Greener’s Law”.
Notably, H. L. Mencken is also known for this quote:
“A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.”
(CT’s take note; I think he had you in mind on this one …)
.
The PSU Collegian is still running with this under “admin news”
“(…)Mann, a meteorology professor at Penn State, has been recognized nationally for his research on global warming and is one of the first scientists to discover rising surface temperatures in the 20th century. This discovery is known as the “Hockey Stick Graph.”
In 2007, Mann was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his research.
According to court documents, Simberg and Steyn called Mann’s work a “hoax” and argued that he fabricated his data for the results in two separate publications.
Mann’s work was called under review in 2009 when more than 350 emails relating to Mann’s research were illegally retrieved, thus starting a university investigation.
In 2010, Mann was cleared by the university of illegally conducting research after a five-month investigation”

Which???? The ‘Peace’ prize or one of the ‘prizes’ as for Economics, Physics, etc.
People confuse the two ‘types’ of prizes ALL the time … the two types are not even awarded by the same organization in the same country!

There are five (5) Nobel prizes and each is supposed to be awarded to a *person* according to Nobel’s will, a link to which I posted earlier.
Google Steyn and the shagged sheep. Epic takedown. Includes everyone’s fave, bigcitylib.
“… on this side I give you ‘Yamal Mann and the Briffa Band Experience’. Flipsides, it’s that crazy be-bop sound from those defunct dudes on the block, the ‘Tiljander Series’. [edited cuts]
