Mikey Mann tries to elevate himself with a butt thrust. Joe stays calm and centered.
Bastardi scores take-down with flick of the wrist, as MMann is off-center. 2-zero Joe.
Mike is yelling ” I work for Penn State, where he was a champion wrestler!”
(Is that a Mickey mouse watch?)
Great craft beer pub Joe. How about starting with two glasses of Nobel Old Peculiar.
Michael Mann: Damn I need to prove this shrimp salad is getting warmer due to climate change, where did Thomas Karl go?
Perhaps the same way as his computer. Remember it self destructed before the data and algorithim could be used to replicate his results. We will never know just how he did it.
But we will believe him anyway.
If you check the piece of wood immediately under my elbow you will find that it supports not only my elbow but also my conclusions.
Interesting …
What passes for wood these days is often is a picture of wood over a centre core of high density fibre board then coated with clear protective plastic. So, your tree rings can be made to order. Hmmm …
That might explain the peculiar lump on top of his head.
“That’s not a Nobel prize in my pocket.”
MM: “I’ve had enough beer. I get drunk very quickly.”…
MM: “My two bodyguards were wrestlers at PSU.”
JB: “I know; I coached them.”
Leftist meets skeptic to leech of skeptic’s hard earned money to bankrupt skeptics.
Michael Mann plots a “random” distribution of shrimp that will mysteriously benefit him.
Pick who loves the camera
Two faces made for radio, or ‘journalism’.
Mann: Let me give you some old fashioned climate gas that will surely concern you.
Mark. That’s a ripper!
For whatever reason Gilbert and Sullivan come to mind:

It is a mark of civilization that one can share a beer or three with folks with whom one disagrees. It’s a habit that we should relearn. link
Sure. Thump Mann about the head and shoulders with a blunt object, then we’ll take him for a beer. Sorry, that boy just gets my Irish up.

Happy to share a beer with an alarmist anytime. I suspect I would have few agree to join me.
Got ur 6.
Expect to pay – that’s how they roll.

I’m a Scot. Short arms, long pockets.
When sung ‘A policeman’s lot is not a happy one,
is sung as ‘A policeman’s lot is not an nappy one’
To explain the double entendre, police don’t change nappies.
G@ur momisugly S was a satire.
What they may discuss, though, is what each think the atmospheric sensitivity is to a doubling of CO2, and see if their confidence limits, error bars, overlap.
A meeting with MM requires you bring a standard (not new standard) primary/intermediate set of textbooks in case he needs to look something up.
That still won’t help against Joe’s weather history knowledge. Show him weather and he’ll show you when it has previously occurred (and what teams were playing during that weather).
Joe should be the presidential advisor on climate, that egghead minus the goatee should be censured by honest science.
I like it! I admire and respect Joe B., and I neither admire nor respect MM… though I only know his public persona. I expect if he were my neighbor, we could find some common ground… dunno.
But anyone that will sit down and have a beer with someone, ex oficio, with whom they disagree is a good guy.
Cheers.
But you may lose you part or all of the common ground as Dr Mann keeps moving the goal line?
MM keeps moving the fence line?
Who picked up the check?
That looks like it might be an “American Express” card in front of Mann so I’d guess Soros. 😎
If that’s Manns Amex then it must have been the taxpayer!
Gunga Din, no myself I don’t think it is a credit card. size is wrong, shadows under it -not there. More like a mini menu. Note the drink glasses.
Behind Mann’s arm is a glass with possibly a micro brew. With the way he is out of the seat it is as if he is trying to block it from view. Tsk the reflection of the glass is quit clear.
And yes I am probably reading to much in the picture, he can’t be that paranoid and deceitful

I’ll guess there were at least 2 others there.
They got out of the way. Also took the photo.
Note the glass of red wine.
If Joe’s working on both of those: Way to go!
Hiding the decline (of my sobriety).
You win the internet today.
Big Oil obviously /sarc
“Alarmist and skeptic forced to shelter from weather together; because climate change”.
One of these men knew Jerry Sandusky (and all his little friends) … very well.
Nice to know they had a pleasant exchange.

“What happened after Mann said to Joe, “Pull my finger.”
I found this to be rather positive when it popped up on my Twitter feed. Two men from opposing sides meeting as though it were the most natural thing in the world to do. Respect both, I say. let’s hope it portends better, less divisive times
Are you trying to make shrimp disappear faster? People in the future will not know what shrimp tastes like because of climate change …
Different opinions do not need to create enemies
I have no problem with people having different opinions.
It’s when they believe that their “opinion” gives them the right to run other people’s lives and take their stuff. Then I have a problem.
MarkW
Profound.
cannibal rights! parasitizing your own species is an just an alternative metaphysics.
he just has a different opinion about what to do with MY stuff.
re-enacting dan pearl’s last meal?
Those who would be the least tolerant of different ideas are the least secure about their own.
Anthony’s relationship with Bill McKibben comes to my mind, they can agree to disagree as many of my acquaintances and I do also.
I cut them slack as they are personalities who seek indoctrination to maintain self-esteem. Offering an alternative to the popular truism tends to frighten them with cognitive dissonance, plus the prospect of taking an unpopular viewpoint in their social circles. They simply tune out any common sense approach.
“What is it again that you live doing? I’m into science”
Mikey can’t get pizza because climate change got the cheese and meat
Mann : Water into wine! It does not ring true to me.
Is today April 1st?
“Look, we’re so old we don’t need ‘safe spaces!'” “Our grandparent’s didn’t even know what ‘snowflakes’ were!”
“And I’ll have the Tree Ring Circus , with shrimp and a weatherman on the side”
Looks like Joe is taking advantage of the fact that Michael is buying 🙂
MM: How can this perma-bull-on-winter be correct on forecasts in our age of unprecedented AGW?!
JB: Enjoy the food and company, it’s the only food and company you’ve got!
