Come on everyone, you should be ashamed!

I mean, you gotta listen to “the Mann”.

He is ever so smart, and handsome too.

Not only does he have a Nobel Prize, I am sure that he even invented the symbol for that fabulous electronic component, the thermistor, as in, say:

See there in the thermistor symbol, see the hockey stick, that’s only a small part of what this learned scientist has contributed to our world..

When the BBC paraded Mikey Mann in their absurd TV programme’Climate Change -The Facts’ it was an insult to their taxpayers and another weak attempt to whitewash the Climategate fraud – which has been itching under the BBC skin for a decade. Maybe MM’s shift to a ‘clean energy’ trope shows he’s recognised the futility of the ‘extreme weather’ caper he’s making his name on

It is entirely possible to exist only from renewable energies, but not for 10 billion people on earth. So the question is who should continue to live on earth and who should not! I suggest that I belong to the first group.

Haha. Someone someday will make a comedy movie about this.

from BBC CAGW stooge, Harrabin:

6 May: BBC: Coronavirus: UK warned to avoid climate change crisis
By Roger Harrabin
The UK must avoid lurching from the coronavirus crisis into a deeper climate crisis, the government’s advisers have warned.
They recommend that ministers ensure funds earmarked for a post-Covid-19 economic recovery go to firms that will reduce carbon emissions…
And investment should prioritise broadband over road-building, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) says…

LINKS:
◾Download the updated BBC Energy Briefing
◾Covid recovery plan ‘must tackle climate change’
◾Don’t forget ‘deeper emergency’, says UN chief
◾Blue skies pushed Greenland ‘into the red’

In a letter to the Prime Minister, the committee says jobless people should be re-trained for work in geographically-spread labour-intensive “green” industries such as home insulation; tree-planting; and peatland restoration…

***Green groups say any bailout should include a condition that the industry shrinks until it finds a technological solution to its carbon emissions…

The committee says the government must produce policies that allow the UK to reduce emissions to Net Zero in an orderly way – unlike the chaos of the Covid-19 crisis…

Cannot find one mention of “Planet of the Humans” on the BBC website.

I just had to put my two cents in here. That biomass number includes all the power generators that burn our garbage. For example Westchester county NY with 60 MW electricity. With proper pollution controls this a great way to extend the lives of our land fills and in the process remove combustible products.

Albert,

That’s a good point, I don’t know how many of these biomass power plants meet emission standards. On the other hand, as I understand it, wood is dirtier than coal and trees absorb CO2. NG would be the better choice but not to the greens. because it’s ‘fossil fuel’. hmm.

I never thought I’d waste my time watching a Moore film, but if he does a documentary on Mann, I will. I remember reading some interesting things about Mann’s history at Junk Science, I think, but I can’t find it.

Michael Mann is an unwitting class clown.

Speaking of classes and the struggle-

“If they are going to continue to bite the hand that feeds them, and farming feeds New Zealand, then they are going to lose out in the long term,”

“…The coalition government, which faces an election in September, has defended the new curriculum as important for children growing up worried about how climate change will affect their lives.

‘They see the simple fact that every year they have been alive has been one of the hottest on record and they expect us to act,’ Climate Change Minister James Shaw said after its launch…”

More like they are indoctrinated with “simple facts” and told that action is necessary.

Something tells me they don’t get all of the “simple facts,” just the ones approved.

It gets better as the usual suspects suddenly get an epiphany with correlation equals causation-

The irony of all this is that Michael Mann was outed by Russian scientists who hacked all the Climategate emails.

May 6, 2020 3:45 pm

Possibly, but it seemed more like an insider and the Climategate e-mails just came off a Russian server, by whatever means.

Anyone know what the actual back story on Climategate the First was?

I really hope Mann pi%%&s Moore enough so that Moore makes a document movie of Climategate…

Wouldn’t it be nice to see Moore file a libel lawsuit against Mann!

Referring to either Mann or Moore as a stooge is a huge insult to Moe, Larry, and Curly (Shemp and Curly Joe too. ah heck, it’s even an insult to Joe)
