Apparently Michael Mann agrees with the label, his Twitter feed says:
The movie referred to is this one.
Well, we all knew it was simply a matter of time before Mann took on the persona exhibited by his followers.
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.”
Maybe dressing up as Manndrake the Magician might be more suitable.
Since we see the magic trick illusion called the Hockey Stick.
M4GW explains Mannian Climate Science. An Oldy, but still a goodie 🙂
Mann of gspiel?
========================================================================
Poor Mann! Jumped in the deep end with nothing to keep him afloat but his own imaginary Hockey Stick. (and George Soros.)
(Worth a repeat.)
THAT is just … creepy weird.
Having bent so many graphs into the required shapes, the man of steel is suffering from metal fatigue.
Man of Stool.
Funny how none of these super heroes will stand up to debate anyone. They demonize people, then run, claiming “settled science” when the only thing that is settled is the fact they dont know or understand what drives weather and climate.
I suspect they would soil their super hero outfits.
As a side note, as a former PSU wrestler, I would have loved to have had alot of these guys as my opponents. Could have been an NCAA champ. People that wont compete, are easy to beat

Thanks for the link to the video! There is a *remarkable* segment where The Mann states this-
“If you can’t win your argument on the basis of science, you try to win based on…ah defamation, of slander, of um ah rhetoric, that sounds convincing, but has no basis in fact.”
It is stunning how well 2008Mann perfectly describes the behavior of 2013Mann.
Fantastic stuff!
🙂
Is that a WEDDING ring on his fourth finger?! No way…….
…. but, yes, amazing-but-true. Here she is, Mrs. Mandiac (I found her photo in an employee-of-the-month announcement (IRS special ops unit)):

Oh the irony, does this fool not know that Stalin’s nickname was “man of steel”
Joseph Stalin’s Early Years and Family
Joseph Stalin was born Josef Vissarionovich Djugashvili on December 18, 1878, or December 6, 1878, according to the Old Style Julian calendar (although he later invented a new birth date for himself: December 21, 1879), in the small town of Gori, Georgia, then part of the Russian empire. When he was in his 30s, he took the name Stalin, from the Russian for “man of steel.”
Mann of Steal (what a despicable creep! — “Everything’s for sale….”)
Well, you know how it goes. BS=Bull S—, MS=More S—, PhD=Piled High deeper.
They really piled it on this time!
AB — great memory! LOL, one erased people out of photos, the other erased data (and e mails).
TOO ironic — God is on our side. #[:)]

The New Mannian Scientific Method, “Don’t debate ’em. Sue ’em!”
How can an adult dressed like this NOT be selling used cars or appliances?
And please…..”Capt. Climate” instead of caped climate crusader.
“Man of Stool.” LOL!
Oh, the hu-MANN-ity!
When all you can do is cluck ridiculous nonsense like “There is a consensus!!!” no WONDER you chicken out of a debate:
Recent “science” seminar where Mann, et. al., explain their “Theory”
Steel (thanks to newer technologies and lower cost) was one of the driving forces behind the Industrial Revolution – which supposedly started the anthropogenic climate change mess.
The irony is apparently lost on Mann. What a fool.
Oh….I see what you mean about the ego!
To those asking about the waders, I would have thought it clear that the waders were intended to represent jackboots.

LOL.
The waders are for wading through an ‘imagined’ instant flood/sea level rise in a ‘single bound’.

[AMAZING irony!]
LAUGH — OUT — LOUD. WUWT has some fine minds. Much more witty than the stupid attempts at stand-up comedy that the Great Bore et. al. try.
Anyone knowing human history knows that Mann’s hockey stick is complete nonsense.
2,000 years ago, Rome and China didn’t do the things they did because it was colder than today. We have had the evidence for this in actual excavations for years now, decades even, with leftovers from those people.
Roughly a thousand years ago we see the same again, in Europe and Asia, again. The Danes planted wine (they don’t do so today, because it’s too cold up there) and Japan had an unprecedented cultural bloom .
Cultures only bloom when the conditions are good, aka when it’s warm and you have time to sit down and write novels and paint stuff rather than huddling together and trying not to freeze to death.
Interestingly enough we can only find such cultural bloom on the northern hemisphere. Cultures on the southern hemisphere never had anything even remotely similar.
