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.”
====================================================================
But you’re forgetting that only Mann knows what Man has done. We’re not talking about Human History but Mann’s History. Mann is the authority on that. Anyone who says otherwise is barking up the wrong tree. (He’s the authority on that also.)
Any ideas on what the “C” stands for?
I have my own theory but am willing to leave it to others.
Well, the possibility consequently exists that organic waste products might be deeper than say half precession cycle old late Holocene vintage hominids might extraordinarily produce, Hi-carbon steel not excepted…………….. Such civilizations achieved during this interglacial (from say iron, bronze, semiconductor ages – not eligible)
etc…..
Humorously, the latest iteration of the genus Homo is once again at a half-precession (plus a few centuries change) old extreme interglacial.
What is the latest hominid to do?
(the “right choice” may not be the most obvious…….)
At the genus level, you might just favor stripping whatever (perhaps a CO2 climate security blanket) might extend H. sapiens sapiens reign in favor of say something far and away in our possible genetic future alluded to in the conclusions of:
Quaternary Science Reviews 28 (2009) 399–411, “Trends, rhythms and events in Plio-Pleistocene African climate”, Trauth et al, 2009………:
“An examination of the fossil record indicates that the key junctures in hominin evolution reported nowadays at 2.6, 1.8 and 1 Ma coincide with 400 kyr eccentricity maxima, which suggests that periods with enhanced speciation and extinction events coincided with periods of maximum climate variability on high moisture levels.”
As we are at an eccentricity minimum at this end extreme interglacial (the next eccentricity maxima some 2 ice ages, and associated interglacials, away) what would you recommend?
Species, or genus-level discourse, appreciated……..
The floor (of the species) is open
Skeptik, “Any ideas on what the “C” stands for?”
God only knows, but, since he appears to be wearing the Soviet flag, “Communism” would be a good fit. Also the block-style font could be seen as two C’s: “Coyuz Covyetskik” (Soviet Union).

Save by switching to Geiko?
One of my favourite jokes was the time that someone commented on that Mandia photo (I think it might have been Anthony) “This uniform gives him the power to be able to talk to girls” or something like that. Mandia: King of the Wieners
C stands for — “CONFUSED.”?
C stands for — his grade average?

Bwah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaa!
Aldous — THEY WERE RIGHT! (LOL)
He (apparently) talked one into marrying him!!
There was a Soviet dictator who killed tens of millions. He called himself Man of Steel … Stalin. Mann is a profoundly dishonest person. Like his namesake. When I use the word “profound” I mean profound. When I use the word “dishonest” I mean liar.

Job security in a growing industry. (That produces excuses for an ever increasing power grab and tax theft)
I see warmunism as one of the prevailing economic conditions – like, say, an abundance of an elderly demographic. One warmunist scientist probably costs as much as a hundred pensioners; first, his wage must be paid; that’s equivalent to 10 pensioners; second; the policies he helps to push through enable capital redistribution (subsidy theft) worth a multiple of that, so let’s just assume a factor of 10 again.
In Germany, warmunist subsidies are about 20 bn EUR a year. Under my calculation we would therefore expect warmunist science to cause direct costs of 2 bn EUR a year. Given a German public R&D budget of 20 bn a year ( http://cordis.europa.eu/germany/rd-germany_en.html ) this sounds exactly right – the EU has vowed to spend 1/9th of its R&D money on climate-related activities.

The guy has an ego so big you could fly a 747 through it sideways , and the irony is its that very ego that will bring his own downfall , upon which will be surprised to see who lines up to kick him on the way down . Such is the ‘quality’ of Mann.
The comment ‘no adult would dress like that’ is surely making an unsubstantiated assumption.

The thing that really sets humans apart is our ability to use energy that is not generated by our own bodies. With the use of abundant energy we can live in the Antarctic visit the bottom of the sea or explore space.
Energy is critical to civilization and that is why the elite want to control and tax it.
Looking at the Tweeter feed, nice to see the usual suspects paying homage to Mann especially the high priestess of biased reporting Goldenberg…….Overpec.Schmidt,Cook, and Heidi Culllen repeating the same B.S.
Some of Manns comments seem to be close to libelous??
And Mann made god in his own image…and saw that it was good: with apologies to the Bronze Age authors of Genesis 1:27
Well, there ya go–Mandia has said:
We all know “global T” hasn’t risen in 17 years, 5 months (23 years by satellite measurements); that polar bears aren’t stranded (they’re expanding in numbers to the point of being a nuisance); and the seas aren’t rising any faster than normal (so saying he leaps any of them is a sad commentary on his mental state).
Sounds like an epic failure on Mandia’s part.
And Michael Mann? He’s no more made of steel than a wooden hockey stick.
However, both sound like characters right out of some Marvel Comics book.
It worked for PT Barnum and Buffalo Bill. That brings up a question of what real cowboys thought of the Buffalo Bill show at the time. Were they amused or disgusted? I guess it didn’t matter since both showmen were selling to a bemused but at the same time ignorant urban market.
I thought the man of steal was Peter Gleick?
Solid video. A lot of the regular readers could learn from it, despite it’s short length. Not a one of you has been through an experience like Dr. Mann has. Childishly belittling him just confirms what people already think about WUWT and its audience.
REPLY: and yet, here you are. Your statement should read “some people”. Mann’s view of himself is self parody, we’d be remiss to not point it out. If he doesn’t want criticism, then he shouldn’t make absurd self parodying superhero statements- Anthony

The talking head in that video conveniently forgot to mention “hide the decline” and other such issues in climate reconstructions when he pronounced the present warming as unprecedented. in other words, the assumption is that while the past temperature reconstructions are all over the map and still controversial, the blade of the stick is still gospel.
“We all know “global T” hasn’t risen in 17 years..”
You should watch Alley’s talk. Might learn something.
He reminds me of redneck ninja…
Here’s some irony for us. Carbon is added to steel to make it stronger.
