From the “Manntastic claims require Manntastic evidence” department.
From the description:
The human eye could see the rise in sea level as the ice sheets in Greenland melt. Measurements also show a change in gravity as the ice melts. A new study has climate models showing the variation in ice sheet melts and how sea levels will rise so much, that low land across the globe is at risk.
Dr. Michael Mann joined Thom [Hartmann] to discuss how serious the rate of melt in Greenland and the evidence that the planet is in danger.
You’ll need a barf bag to watch.
h/t to CTM, who is recovering from surgery. We wish him the best.
So … Mann controls the weather (or at least the narrative).
Yet he, like Hansen, have been so wrong about what they said should have already happened but didn’t.
Mann seems to have a history of claiming a current condition (with a few Storm Channel-ish exaggerations) is just what he said would happen (absent the time and severity and sometimes even the event).
I am a snoop about what books people keep handy on their shelves. Besides Mann’s copy of the Hockey Stick and Climate Wars, there is some special set of Feynman’s Lectures on Physics that includes Feynman’s Tips on Physics — looks to be unopened.
Based on Michael’s comment i just wonder if he ever been to the arctic for any period of time in the summer or winter. I have previously spent a reasonable amount of time in the Canadian arctic islands years ago on geological field parties and also on drilling sites. the climate change that may be happening in the last few years may not be unusual over a longer period of time. go up there and try it in the winter or summer. be prepared for some unusual weather. good luck.
How can anyone take Mann seriously when he has been exposed as a total fraudster?
And a joke and a clown, with his home made fake Nobel Prize.
Apologies If someone made this comment above. I have not read them all. BUT, why is Greenland called Greenland? Because when the Vikings from Norway settled there, the land was not covered in ice and they were able to grow crops – green crops. Hence Greenland!
Professor Mann thinks nothing like this happened, which is why he wanted to lose the Medieval Warming Period to validate his hockey stick theory. I put the point to Sir John Houghton, former chief scientist in the UK, and he said that was just local, not global. I think not…
I thought they called it Greenland because it was covered in ice, where as Iceland was not and it was a ruse to throw off anyone from trying to conquer the new found farm lands?
Maybe just a funny story, but I could see the Vikings doing that, they were well traveled and conquerors themselves.
I remember in elementary school in the 50s we were told they were confused about island which was which and misnamed them.
It was actually called Greenland as a PR exercise by Eirik the Red who discovered the place in 986.

I will not put the electrons of my new monitor through the torture of playing a video in which a PhD seriously just labeled TIDES as watching the sea level rise with his own eyes. Did he not see it fall as well?
LOL.
The man is a joke. A total joke. To coin an old favorite of my mother’s, “he can’t find his way out of a wet paper bag with a knife”.
This fraudulent hoaxter should be in State Pen. There is no sea level rise. His climate models are bull[snip], and he has absolutely no authority on sea level science. He is as informed as Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Al Gore.
