Climate Scientist Michael Mann Denies He is a Sex Symbol

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

h/t Dr. Willie Soon, Climate Depot – In the wake of Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance in “Don’t Look Up”, Michael Mann has gone all coy about whether DiCaprio’s portrayal fully corresponds with his life as a scientist whose warnings have been disregarded.

Words fail me.

[Prepublication addendum from Charles]

If Dr. Mindy is based on Mann, then we should note the description of Mindy by the character Peter Isherwell, who told Mindy:

You’re a Lifestyle Idealist.

You think you’re motivated by ideological beliefs, but you’re not.

You run towards pleasure.

You run away from pain, like a field mouse.

Your death will be unremarkable and boring.

You’re going to die alone.

quotes slightly paraphrased to condense.

Sure Dr. Mann he’s just like you.

“Words fail me.”

Acronyms should do: “ROFL!”

Mindy reminds me of Mork.

Are we sure Mann wasn’t playing Mork instead of Mindy from Mork And Mindy?

Mann could excite the Polar Bears.

I guess some women (or men) are attracted to weak-chinned, shifty-eyed blowhards. Not.

Just as Republicans want to date AOC because she is so attractive.

Props to Mann! He’s got something right, for once.

Science Mann denies:
Every 1km squared by 11km squared is 10,784,313 grams of which 4497 grams is carbon dioxide. Far infrared (2898 (half suns temperature in kelvin) divided by 15 micrometer (193.5K))) CO2 absorption. Earths heat is longwave radiation 8-14 micrometers, the transparent part of the spectrum. CO2 and other gases absorb much shorter waves heating the stratopause in polar regions where sunlight is 24hrs. The difference between 24hr darkness polar region and 24hr sunlit polar region at 10hpa is 158 watts. Fake science has 158 watts added to the 240 watts of sun energy. Actual measurements has it just over 100 warts. If the human body didn’t have 1 bar pressure, the atmosphere would crush us. These scientist think a fictional film about a asteroid hitting earth equals the damage carbon dioxide can do to the planet. Shows how far from reality they really are.

Mickey Mann is not so much a broken record as a broken ideologue.
The idea that anyone could imagine Di Caprio framed his role in order to present a hidden sexual beast in his science mentor Mann, is so disturbing to even imagine, I am reaching for the sick bucket as I write this,
If as Mann tries to suggest, the film was a strong aid to enliven peoples attitude to Climate Change risks, then he is as far away from reality on this as his interpretation of Bristle cone pines was/is.
On the plus side, Mann has said something truthful when he denied the sexually attractive title, applied to him. Full marks for honesty Michael try to reproduce that nice warm feeling of honest reflection more often. You never know, people might come to actually like you….. 🙂

Hmmm. to me, looks more like the inspiration for the 2021 Marks & Spencer Christmas ad..

If they wanted to portray Mann they would have chosen a different actor.

Are we sure that Mann is not an actor who tries to play a scientist in real life?

Well there you have it: 100% accurate statement by Mr Mann.

You can’t keep calling him a total liar now…

Amusing as it is to laugh at the contemptuous faker that is M.Mann, I have a sneaking suspicion that it is he who is having the last laugh…

…though it pains me to say it.

Finally Mickey and I agree on something. If he was responsible for making sure the human race survived based on his “sexiness” then we are on our way to extinction.

Mikey says the film is prescient because it shows the same sort of anti-science playing out with COVID 19. Now conspiracy nut Mikey blames global warming ‘anti-science’ squarely on Big Oil. So the question is, Mikey, who is behind COVID 19 ‘anti-science’?

MSNBC missed a trick if they didn’t approach anti-nausea medication manufacturers to run a commercial after this segment.

Such evidence does not need a formal denial.
