Readers surely recall: Nominations are open for the first annual ‘Climate Duplicitist of the Year’ award.
The top nominations are in, now you can vote.
(poll is closed per original rules, result will posted Sunday night)
Only one vote per person, vote stuffing attempts are minimized by the design of the poll software.
Trenberth was added as bonus option, even though he’s been relatively quiet recently. I recognize that readers had many more suggestions for nominations, but these are the ones most numerous in comments.
Has to be Lew roll really , not many can out ‘nasty’ Mann but currently is doing just that.
I feel bad for the contestants running against Mann, they really don’t stand a chance. I know they all try so hard, but there’s simply no contest as long as Mann is in the running.
I am surprised at how far behind Gore is (my pick). Of the people on the short list:
Gore has made millions by promoting CAGW alarmism, and;
Gore has made millions by investing in oil and gas, and;
Is that not the very embodiment of duplicity?
All Mann has going for him on that metric is some fake science.
BTW, may I commend the people posting to this topic today. The wit and hilarity are off the charts! I’m thoroughly enjoying this thread!
How do you get more duplicitist than holding the position of ethics guru at a major science organization than stealing an identity and forging a document?
I only regret that I have but one vote to cast for Mikey Mann. Uh, oh, he’ll probably sue me for that…
I just voted. I kept in mind that this was for just the past year.
Many of you are more aware of who doo-d what this past year than I am.
So, as far as I am aware, that narrowed it down to Turney, Mann, and the Lew.
I also kept in mind that it was for duplicity and not stupidity.
That left out Turney.
Lew or Mann?
I only know of one big Lew doo.
Mann has at least two so I went with Mann because of his “Little White Lie-n” and his refusal to expose his data and emails in his various lawsuits.
(Wouldn’t disclosure quickly show that he’s not a fraud or, at worst, reasonably wrong?…. unless……)
Where is Baruq Obama? Where is John F’n Kerry?

I voted for Turney for his Antarctica misadventure. Was it science, climate propaganda, an expensive vacation? Paying passengers referred to as science volunteers?
=======================================
Maybe the Putz-er Prize?
Let’s give it to Mann.
To stick it to Mann, let’s also support Mark Steyn’s 30 million dollar countersuit vs. Mann.
I was more than skeptical about the whole thing, but Steyn’s more than capable and has a pair, in addition to great lawyers. http://www.steynonline.com/

Wrong site.
Weak attempt anyway.
The results so far have created a …………….. hockeystick!
Unprecedented!
John Cook is probably annoyed that he’s not on the list.
OTOH, Cook would probably be annoyed if he were on the list.
creating a worldwide policy based on a few dozen trees and fudging the data.
suing those who disagree.
mann.
Yikes! It’s not even April yet. Maybe it should be called Climate Duplicitist of the Year-to-date, as I’m sure 2014 will see many more contenders! Ah, such a target rich environment.
==================================================================
Elections are approaching.
Time for Hyperdrive!
Gleick’s acts of forgery, mendacity, and hypocrisy were by far the most spectacular, breathtaking actually, but his flame burned like the Sun only for a short time. Mann’s grandiosity, shamelessness, and inability to STFU is the gift that keeps on giving. Dogged persistence deserves to be rewarded. That’s why Mann gets my vote.
Agree with an earlier commenter. Mann isn’t duplicitous… all that whining is from diaper rash. It’s Big Lew that truly puts the DUPE in duplicitous!!
Al Gore is most OBVIOUSLY duplicitous… as DavidMHoffer and Alan Robertson say. More money – absolute highest Carbon footprint, Selling out and making money from oil, which he is stated as being against, the CO2 Temperature graphs which are full of bunk. The evil one who’s done more damage to create awareness of a hoax which many people think is a reality is Gore – He’s the winner!
But alas, not everyone agrees with my sentiment –yet
I vote for Bob Ward
Gunga Din: I LIKE it!!!!!
@Gunga Din: Your reasoning is timely and makes perfect sense. I thought about it (timeliness) – and retroactively gave the award to Gore…
Campaigning 4 Da Mann!

Perhaps this might be more honestly described as Hated Climate Alarmist Of The Year. If it was so described I might cast a vote myself. But as it is, as if only the opposition were capable of duplicity, I can only consider it suitable for thirteen year olds or other imbeciles. This is the first such poll? Have some sense. Make it the last as well.
