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
Does that mean he now gets auto enrolment into this prize draw?

I’m no fan of either the BBC or Savile, but sfaia, Savile was not convicted of child abuse (and is not likely to be since he’s dead).
Here’s a great article from The Street about how solar panels fail to work, but it is not reported or even widely known in most cases.

Are Mickey and Piltdown related?
Reviewing: Step 1: You’re upset and feel defamed because someone put in print that you tortured data to serve your own ends. Step 2: You torture data for the purpose of self-gratifcation – in print – to the court. Observation: Truth is an absolute defense and you are a public person. Question: After your case is dismissed, how are people to regard you when they know that the most objectionable things to have been said about you are absolutely true when you went and proved it in court right down to the last gory bit? Follow up Q: Now that your hockey stick has been disappeared too, how’s the rest of your week looking?

Ouch!
I’m wondering, where are his friends and colleagues in his time of need?
Surely someone can pop up out of the woodwork and claim Dr Mann had forgotten to take his meds that day?
I nominate fellow faux Nobel Laureate Kevin Trenberth for the task.

Wow, maybe I should have not quit coffee, because if I still drank it, would not have to clean my LCD Monitor off of normal spit.
LMAO Brilliant. Well done.

I wonder how many documents could be FOIA’ed from public solar installations?
Answer: yes.
Here is Michael on an Al Jezeera interview where again Mann is still parading under the “Nobel winning Dr Michael Mann” label.
Please note the big denial blink Mann takes precisely on cue with the mention of his “Nobel”
http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestoryus2012/2012/10/2012103181216823978.html
Any idea of the cost to get the same add in USA Today or Wall Street Journal?
For anyone who’s seen a copy of his book, was there language regarding the prize that might require revision in a second edition? If so, would that make the first edition collectible?
So, is Mann looking for the nearest wall to throw his head against ? It’s got hurt less than that advert. he he. Steyn you are brilliant;
Not only climate sceptics get bad treatment by colleagues and “superiors”.
Look at this lecture delivered by the 2011 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Dan Shechtman.
http://www.nobelprize.org/mediaplayer/index.php?id=1731&view=2
Note the treatment he got from his group leader and the Nobel Laureate Prof. Linus Pauling (
Nobel Laureate twice(1954, THE NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY,1962, THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE)). A question that arises having seen this clip is: Are the Nobel prizes good or bad for science, are the prizes putting the recipients on a pedestal from which they can exert too much clout stopping or destroying careers of good scientists? Pls note Prof. Linus Pauling´s statement
“there are no quasi crystals just quasi scientists”. Bad treatment of people that think outside the “consensus” is nothing new. Sadly.
Did anyone notice the college paper’s editorial cartoon?
[paper linked at top]
It shows Frankenstein, “Sandy” emblazoned on his shirt, holding hands with the Bride of Frankenstein, labeled “Climate Change.”
Michael Mann says he is a Nobel Prize winner, the Nobel Committee says he is not.
Now I expect Michael Mann to sue the Nobel Committee.
There is a simple way forward for both Michael Mann and Graham Spanier: they can serve as character references for each other in all future media and legal venues!
That should provide sufficient “authority” to resolve all issues.

Outstandingly embarrassing !
With all that rain, there must be a fresh sinkhole nearby he can crawl into.
His self-importance is so inflated he probably would not be able to crawl into any sinkhole!!
I think this story is not important enough to be at the top of the page; for one day fine, but not more. It would be far better to answer the spate of ‘Superstorm’ Sandy articles in the media than all this nonsense about unbalanced personalities like Mann.

“Me thinks that Mann is a denier… he denied reality when stating that he’s a Nobel laureate. One has to think that there are some at Penn State that believe that Mann is a distraction at best and an idiot at worst. As for me… I’m leaning towards the conclusion that he’s an idiot.
Megakudos to those running the student newspaper at Penn State! They had the guts to do what the administration of that school couldn’t… or wouldn’t.”
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the Board/Trustees/(Whatever) of Penn State encouraged the journal to accept and run the ad. Takes a little bit of the searchlight away from the on-going Sandusky fallout!

“Stortinget is the Norwegian parliament, not the government. Otherwise you are correct that the Nobel committee members are politically appointed. It is a parking spot for useless former politicians.”
Is there any other type of former politician?
Wait! I think I may have this figured out as to why Mike thinks he won a Nobel Prize. OK, Mike? (I know you read this site) check the packaging your Nobel announcement came in. Does it have the same post mark as the one where Peter Gleick has his office or his home? Yeah, thought so…

More than a bit. As documented by David Stoll (“Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All Poor Guatamalans”, 1999) she essentially reinvented her life to fit the revolutionary model. Starting with the claim (on page 1 of her book) that she had had no education, when in fact she was the favored child of the family, i.e. the one who went to school until late adolescence, when the Civil War broke out. Her tale goes on and on from there with OTT accounts about her family’s role in the revolution and the way they died at the hands of the army (e.g. by being crucified in the village square (or something like that) with the corpse left on a hill top to be eaten by animals). (Several were actually killed, but not in the Grand Guignol manner that she describes.)
Ms. Menchu far outdistances Dr. Mann in the let’s-pretend sweepstakes.

Plaintiff Michael Mann has lost his case by including provably false claims in his brief submitted Oct. 22, 2012. Claiming to share a Nobel Prize is exactly the type of professional misconduct his critics are accusing him of, which leaves his slander suit without merit.
From now on, let him be known as “Nobel Mann”.
He’s a real Nobel Mann,
Sitting in his Nobel Land,
Making all his Nobel plans
For nobody.
Apologies to the Beatles.
