When we announced the results of the lawsuit between Michael Mann and Tim Ball, one of the commenters, Serge Wright, came up with this witicism that was a twist on the old phrase “Play the ball, not the man”, applicable when it comes to arguments. Wikitionary says:
To object to someone’s argument by attacking the argument itself instead of them or a facet of their personality; to avoid or make the opposite of an ad hominem attack.
Too often in the climate debate, people get attacked personally; such is the case of Mann vs. Ball.
When I sent the play on words to Josh, he found humour in it, as always:
Be sure to buy him a beer for his work (Josh, not the Mann).

Could it be Mann is all used up (Edgar Poe’s famous story)?
High Finance has taken the lead with the SHC (Synthetic Hegemonic Currentc) to flood the world with unlimited green funds, outside Gov’t control. Bank of England’s Carney declared the end of the Dollar, and ex NY Fed Pres. Dudley implied the FED decide the election.
These guys would throw anyone under the bus on this insane drive for world government. It is not clear if Mann, Greta and sundry others have the faintest clue who they are actually dealing with.
Maybe the deep secret data used to assemble the hockey stick piece by piece.
Edgar Poe gets it :
Pleurez, pleurez, mes yeux, et fondez vous en eau!
La moitie de ma vie a mis l’autre au tombeau.

Uncanny Poem from Edgar Poe :

The broken hockey stick . Poor thing the architect wouldn’t even defend it . Real science alright .
Yep the science is settled .
Now that NASA / IPCC have finally admitted they can’t model clouds the false claims are exposed
for the scam it has always been .
No doubt some serious money was made and tens of thousands of lives needlessly lost but every industry has a life cycle and the scary global warming industry is done .
The next wave of lawsuits should be against the con -men that perpetuated a $trillion dollar scam .
On Mann’s blatant fraud, cooked up to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period and heat up the present our of all recognition:

Mann deluded himself into believing that courts would back his corrupt wood-carving. And the DC court in his frivolous case against Steyn actually did go along with his bogus play, but that won’t last.
Didn’t the IPCC initially use the unproven / discredited hockey stick as scientific spoof ?
Didn’t the broken hockey stick get pulled from IPCC reports ? Why was that ?
Really the next lawsuit should be against the IPCC for it’s significant role in enabling the biggest overblown scam in history .
Now NASA admits they can’t accurately model the effect of cloud cover . Gee what a surprise .
The whole scam was built on a pile of garbage and now it’s crumbling .
Who is going to put their name on the next IPCC report ?

I suspect we are going to see a whole wack of IPCC scientists decide they want to spend more time with their family while they can still get out .
