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.

Lewandowsky got my vote – but at the time he was still only No. 2 so will have to try harder. Come on all you Lew fans! Our antihero needs your vote!
It has to be Trenberth for me – given that I sit on a research vessel for weeks at a time running CTDs http://www.seabird.com/products/spec_sheets/911data.htm I have so far failed to find the missing heat.
Given that the heat enters the ocean at the surface, I fail to see how it somehow sneaks past the hydrocline (Thermocline) and sinkd to the sea-bed. Even if it did, it never seems to be in the places that I look. If there were heat there it would more likely come from submarine volcanicity.
“Mann’s grandiosity, shamelessness, and inability to STFU is the gift that keeps on giving. ”
Too right: it just has to be da Mann, and for so many reasons. These include his book whining about his ‘treatment’ at the hands of critics, his pompous belligerence, his lawsuits, and his inability to address the least criticism. He is truly self-deluded, which given his high profile makes him a danger to science itself.
Al gore seems to be laying low, so he does not seem to qualify for “of the year” this year. It was a close pick before Lew and Mann, but I think his attack on Judith Curry just as he is ramping up his lawsuit surely qualifies as “duplicitous” and thus pushed him over the edge for me.
Trenberth seems to go the way of Algore. Like master, like pet I guess.
Mann? Lew? Mann? Lew?
Decisions, decisions!
Please sir, can I have some more vote? (With apologies to C Dickens)
I think that the size of the ivory tower that Michael Mann have built for himself is way larger than for the rest of the pack. A clear winner.

Great video clip, thank you.
Whoever of this rogues gallery wins, the annual award should be titled in his name to permanently preserve his reputation as a dangerous crank.
Tricky choice between Mann and Lew what ever his name is. Lew… has stuck his upside down head above the parapete a few times this year, Mann’s serial court cases will drag on into next year before anything happens, so Lewy got my vote this year.
Presumably we get to vote about trivial people with worthless and irrelevant lives again next year.
Perhps Tamino’s name should go on the list.
After reading about Steve McIntyre’s latest hassles, I’m voting for Lewandowsky. Go Lew! He’s my Mann.
Possibly Mann is watching this site or one of his lawyers. But I doubt if he will sue us all. It would cost too much money.
I’ve just cast my vote and I must say I’m extremely disappointed to find my “dead horse” running second last.
In such a low quality field I thought Turney would be a dead set cert to run a drum.
Either the vote is rigged or the place getters are “doped” up.
Levandovski for me. Duplicity seems to be his middle name.

If you had put the video to music I’d have to wonder if you were related to elmer.
Gunga Din, I don’t know Elmer.
Another poster named that name.
Where can I find something about Elmer?
You know what the nominees for the academy awards say, ‘Being nominated amongst such great
actors is enough’. Well we should award runners up like they do in beauty competitions.
Here you go. He comments here as Elmer.

It’s not fair – Mann gets all the press, so of course he wins. We should give lesser known hacks a chance.
Thanks, Gunga! 🙂
Mann did a lot of yelling, bullying and screwing people, but at least he was in the business. I just read it as his character. The travisty is that people “were” bullied by him.
Lewandowskyan got my vote, because he went out of his way to put his finger in a pie not his own. He misrepresented the argument, misrepresented the people, misrepresented himself. And wrote the most wrong headed article about his own biases imaginable.
Even Peter Gleick only did one wrong deed and left the subject well enough alone. Lewandowskyan is still at at.
