I thought the National Review article, The Climate Inquisitor posted on BishopHill, was worth a cartoon. H/t Rick Cina in the comments for the peer-reviewed critiques of Mann’s hockey sticks.
h/t to Monty Python for the title.

Know that’s funny.
Wonder how long it’ll take Mann/Schmitt to sue for unauthorised use of their image and likeness.
ROFL
Best ever.
The ;left-wingers really like those kind of hockey sticks.
Josh, you must have enough CAGW cartoons to make a small book by now? They would make a nice “change of season” gift or greeting card when communicating with my dwindling band of faithful believer friends…
It needs a picture of the pile of discarded data that they threw away because it doesn’t fit the theory. But dang that is funny as spit.
That’s great!
Sadly, we who are paying for the global warming “cure” are suffering even more than that hockey stick.
🙁
Torture is what our courts are doing to our laws. Do researchers on the tax-payer dole have to reveal their emails from government owned (ie, public university) email systems? Nope. Do people like Michael Mann have to show their work? Nope. Can the EPA do whatever it wants? Yes.
Watching the Monty Python clip, its a great metaphor for how sureal the climate debate has become. The ridiculousness of many of the pro-AGW ‘scientific’ arguments is on a par with torturing an old lady with soft cushions. Anyone can see how laughable it is, except for those applying the torture/arguments.
The irony of attempting to make the angle of the blade less steep is almost lost in the cartoon. He is apparently trying to reshape the hockey stick to conform more closely to the revised CGMs, which are themselves being reshaped to conform more closely to the adjusted data, which are apparently also being reshaped to conform more closely to the revised GCMs as well.
What is definitely NOT funny is the excruciating waste of taxpayer mega-funds on these charlatans.
No comfy chair for the Mann!

Too late. Penn State.
Thanks, Josh, for the cartoon. Thanks, Anthony, for presenting it with the Pythonesque post title. Both are still bringing a smile to my face as I write this.

Remember models are not designed to be predictive when social science takes the mantle. They are just an excuse for grant money to try to change reality going forward.
Mann simply does not want to admit that the behavioral and social sciences are the primary theories involved now with AGW and IPCC. It would hasten the demise and expose the Common Core K-12 juggernaut to appropriate ridicule before its true data gathering function kicks into high gear.
Penn State does not want that either, being in a state of declining population and industry. Regional equity and a planned economy benefit PA.
It’s actually the Critical Theory of Climate Inquisition?
Too funny. It kind of looks like he is trying to straighten it out though?

Josh,
Your cartoon just inspired me to send this tweet a minute ago,
John
Hilarious.
Gives new meaning to the CACA rack(et).
How many deaths at the hands of the Inquisition that was supported by the Roman Catholic Church?

It’s a great cartoon as usual. I used to think people would see right through this end of the world nonsense but there have been too many calls for deaths or criminal charges for skeptics, made in all seriousness, and not rejected for them to be funny. I listened to a lawyer on a video this week who simultaneously agreed with others in the vid that there was some concern about the evidence for damage but still wanted to make CEO’s and other leaders criminally liable for “ecocide” based on CO2.
Nobody giggled or told her to go home so I suspect that some consider that very clear case of stupidity and self-superiority, somehow potentially rational.
Earth: Climate Wars, Episode 2, daff Brit goes gaga over the hockeystick, even driving it around London of a flat bed truck like it was the image of a saint! Starts at 33:00 min. Power of the hockeystick, and how publicly important it is. I still laugh at that.
