Friday Funny BONUS -Reality hits home for Dr. Mann

Ah Dr. Michael Mann, keeps giving us gifts. As Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. once quipped:

If Michael Mann did not exist, the skeptics would have to invent him.

Looks like doomsday from Dr. Mann’s perspective, according to his Twitter feed (from which I’m blocked h/t to Shub). Maybe Mike is just worried POTUS has more Twitter followers than he does…

How will DJT hurt Mann? These academics do not live in a house of cards, au contraire they usually live in impregnable ivory towers. DJT will need a cunning plan if he is to end this nonsense.

Mann’s standing at Penn St. depends on his ability to attract grant money. Just how much grant money do you think will be coming his way over the next four years.

I hope this is on a list of upcoming failed predictions somewhere. Although they may be right about widespread riots in 2020 — when Donald Trump gets reelected.

Police predicted DC protesters numbered about 400, of which 217 were arrested and charged with “rioting”, which is a felony. These people won’t get the wrist slap they’d have gotten under the lax law enforcement of Obama, so repeat offenders will probably face enough jail time to take them off the streets for quite some time.
Funny how a new sheriff in town will dampen their enthusiasm to break the law.

Massed divisions of women out on the streets right across the globe today in what is clearly a highly coordinated and funded operation. The globalist establishment is desperately fighting for survival now and will stop at nothing. Like the green blob it’s parent multiheaded hydra is going to be difficult to kill.

Notice they’re carefully saying Britain will go ‘Siberian’. They aren’t going to leave quietly and intend to go full Goebbels on this. They will just keep screaming that every event whatsoever is more evidence of climate change/disruption and is what they’ve been warning about all along.
It’s a bit difficult to know how to deal with that from a public perception point of view since if you aren’t scientifically trained and don’t know anything about null hypotheses or unfalsifiability it would be tempting to just believe those who scream the loudest and I think we all know who that will be.

3 years for Mike to torture the Yamal treemometer data to prove UK = Siberia (oops, they’ve just archived it, oh dear never mind).

Michael Mann has been exposed and the Penn State “climate emperor” has no clothes! It could get kind of chilly in Happy Valley, PA.

Michael Mann: “The horror has become real…unlike any of my other projections,”
(I think his tweet got cut off.)

This is really funny. I went to Twitter to make some caustic comment on or to @MichaelEMann. He’s got me blocked! He really is a sensitive guy, I guess. Maybe I was too rough on him. If he’s blocked me, a non-entity, then he must have most of ya’ll blocked on Twitter. Does he?

M.E. Mann is such a loser I won’t waste my time to check, Titan. Besides, being blocked by M.E. Mann is a badge of honor.

Blocking people from his twitter feed is actually more dangerous to him than to us. If he makes it so he can’t see what is happening outside his bubble, he may get blindsided as did a recent presidential candidate.

Oh the horror! Michael Mann’s suit against Mark Steyn is being allowed to proceed. Steyn is requesting an en Banc review of the decision.

Old news that was reported in WUWT a month ago. And not a very good write up on it. http://reason.com/blog/2016/12/22/climate-scientist-michael-manns-defamati

The thing about Mann, is that it might appear to someone who has just started reading about him, that he has been made into a cardboard villain. I had to do a little research to find out that he actually is a cardboard villain.

Wouldn’t he need some strength of character to be villain?
Maybe just a jerk?
Maybe just cardboard!

as per usual, Scientific America has give Mann a little print space in the most recent issue. How did he use the gift??? to loudly proclaim the same tired old talking points. Gotta give the guy a little credit–at least he is consistently wrong about everything.

The entire Penn State U. community had to endure several years as an academic pariah and several football teams were penalized for the pedophilia committed by a single Assistant Football Coach and the resultant coverup. What is the appropriate penalty for the Penn State community for supporting the Sophistry and worse of Michael Mann?

Pedophilia is pretty much what Mann does with data.

There is real horror in the continuing damage done by belief in the straight shaft of the crook’t hockey stick. It is somewhat like seeing a disaster happen, about which you’ve dreamed. C’mon, where’s our Hitchcock?
