There was a lot of interest in my post Michael Mann the ‘reluctant public figure’ and ‘typewriter expert’ where he made the easily debunked claim about the QWERTY keyboard being the very first. Since then, spies, lubricated by “big oil” have managed to get a photo purported to be of Dr. Mann’s keyboard, and one look will explain much. Apparently, this keyboard is standard issue to any alarmist.
This also explains the division of time related to the co-founder of Greenpeace troll incident:
@wattsupwiththat Mann seems to split his time thusly…
1) Complain about abuse, etc, in the media/journals.
2) Abuse, name call on twitter— Уинстън смифф (@AndyMeanie) January 24, 2014
h/t to The Galileo Movement for the keyboard
You forgot some other keys
• False Balance
• Out of Context
• Not Inconsistent With
• We Must Act Now!

I’ve said for a while that people who debate this issue on comment boards must get a daily email announcement from their leaders advising what the ‘term-du-jour’ is….

Just part of Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Training”
Every once in awhile they are sent here to ‘Fight the good fight’ and run home with their tail between their legs because they have no real facts. Then you get things like the hilarious hot wopper site. One visit was enough to make me just about bust a gut laughing. You could see the venom dripping from the fangs and the spittle being flung.
I want to see his 10 key where all of the math magic happens.
David Hoffman says (February 3, 2014 at 8:28 am): “I wonder when he will sue you for defamation.”
Which raises the question: Where on this keyboard is the “Sue-icide” key? 🙂
One of Mann’s keys is upside down, but it doesn’t matter.
Mann is a touchy type who doesn’t need to touch type, the keys select themselves.
No “Hockey Stick” key?
This is only half of the CAGW-keyboard. The right side.
Don’t forget the “shred email” key.

On James’s Hansen’s GISS office computer keyboard, every other key is SHIFT.
Muller’s BEST keyboard has a big Ctrl-X key as the space bar.[/i]

Tom, To the right of Jud’s comment at 11:00 am is a blue rectangle with white letters saying Ric Werme’s guide to WUWT. Click there. Scroll way down until the heading “Formatting in comments” appears. Gray background.
Italics is in line 2 of the table.
It may be revealing to follow Shift-4 (the dollar/pound key for most English keyboards).
There should be a toggle key for “Public Figure”
Not just CTRL and Shift (happens) keys, but ALT, as in the alternate reality in which he lives…
Then of course there are the function keys, which he uses to hide the decline and fill in the
grid gaps with “missing heat”.
Looks like one of those cheap, off-brand keyboards by that obscure (but public) firm Sosumi….

The arrow keys all point up.
Let’s hope this clown (and that’s what he is, if you think about it) is soundly smacked down.

Anybody here want to ask Dr. Mann a question? E-mail it to steyn@marksteyn.com.
Mark Steyn, embroiled in a lawsuit brought by Dr. Mike Mann, is asking for suggestions as to how he can substantiate his case during the discovery phase of the trial. Plainly, Steyn wants the Climate Skeptic blogosphere to provide lines of inquiry which will support certain statements he made about Dr. Man for which the suit was brought.
Dr. Mann’s mysteriously funded lawsuit against National Review and Mark Steyn is alive and well. National Review, having failed to get the suit dismissed, has made conciliatory-sounding noises, but Steyn says he will fight to a verdict. Apparently Steyn has been unable to secure the aid of anonymous deep pockets or pro bono lawyers and is in a serious bind for funds. Anyone so inclined can help at: steynonline.com
Wot, no Creationist key?
