Interesting meeting tonight with @MichaelEMann We disagree on what drives the climate, but enjoyable exchanging ideas with someone who loves what he does as much as I love what I do.We live in same town so everyone can breathe easy now.Central Pa is still intact ha ha

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.
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
Mann: Let me give you some old fashioned climate gas that will surely concern you.
For whatever reason Gilbert and Sullivan come to mind:
Pirates of Penzance
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
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.
Who picked up the check?
One of these men knew Jerry Sandusky (and all his little friends) … very well.
Nice to know they had a pleasant exchange.

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
“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!
