Got to love this section:
“Module 2: Observing and Measuring Anthropogenic Climate Change”
Wow, there is a way to measure the anthropogenic contribution? *facepalm*

If you finish the course successfully, do you get a fake Nobel like his?

I think we olie feel the same way.

Mann is in the Z list of atmospheric scientists, I don’t even consider him to be one given his laughably incorrect attempted explanations of meteorological events in the recent past like the one he got backwards and was corrected by Joe Bastardi on, no wonder it’s free, though you get a cert if you cough up 44 euro 😀

Weren’t the “climate refugees” all supposed to move to Nova Scotia if Trump was elected?

It could be that the Brits who have moved to the Costa del Sol are climate refugees. They have moved to a preferable climate.

About this course

Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge of our time. Human activity has already warmed the planet by one degree Celsius relative to pre-industrial times, and we are feeling the effects through record heat waves, droughts, wildfires and flooding. If we continue to burn fossil fuels at the current rate, the planet will reach two degrees of warming by 2050 – the threshold that many scientists have identified as a dangerous tipping point. What is the science behind these projections?

One degree! … whoooo, even if it were possible to actually, physically prove this, then so what? — ONE DEGREE !!

And all those claimed record extreme events are provably wrong, wrong, WRONG.

TWO degrees!! … double whoooo, even if possible to prove, then, again, so-the-hell what? — TWO DEGREES !!

“many scientists” ? … CORRECTION: “many politicized scientists” [and I might even need single quotes inside the double quotes of “scientists”]

“dangerous tipping point” ? … please, exaggerate much? — of all the … “scientists” … included in the claim, how many of them would use the phrase, “dangerous tipping point”?

But, if Dr. Mann would pay for my air fare, hotel, food, rental car and all other high-carbon-footprint requirements to attend the course, then, hey, I’d show up. I wonder what the carbon footprints of all the attendees will be.

Oh, it’s an online course. How superficial of me to miss that important detail. I just committed strawman sarcasm. I hope you can forgive me, since whenever I see anything representative of Dr. Mann’s positive achievements, I tend to skim over the writing, since my sense of his positive achievements is negative.

I’ll do better next time.

I signed up for the course, by the way, because I want to see how he presents his case.

He might rest assured that if his case is good enough, then I will be a convert.

So Doc, if you happen to read this, then let’s see what you’ve got — I will view it all with a rational consciousness for finding the evidence.

I signed up for the edX Mann course. Interesting stuff. Where can I find similar content not Mann colored?
