Surely you know that rich scientists, grad students and research assistants laugh at the poor dupes who believe in science while they light their cigars with $100 bills they got from the New World Order? That's a 100% true Facebook fact, which I know because I did my research. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They even have a term for that "We could solve the problem if conservative politicians and media outlets would simply stop spreading misinformation about and polarizing the subject of climate change.

You think Michael Mann (who is Michelle man?) is making things up so he can win the Tyler prize and get funding? Why would a university not target a well funded scientist? And how do you think that proves that Michael Mann makes up the science just to get funding? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn’t make things up, he just suffers from confirmation bias. He was introduced to me by his colleagues as “Mr. Global Warming” in our conversation that followed it was apparent to me that his mind was closed to any alternative views. He dismissed any possibility that higher levels of CO2 could be any other than disastrous. He twists his research to support his agenda, refusing to show his work to anyone who may disagree with it. He said something to the effect “why would I share my research with someone who just wants to prove me wrong”. That is not how science is supposed to work.

wmw999 2,114 #36 December 22, 2020 After all, there's little worse one can call a man than feminine, girly, woman. Even better, that (ahem) ilk expects women to aspire to femininity, so that they can be discarded from the power structure for not fitting in.

No, it is also the fact he will not share his research with anyone other than those who share his views. He will not debate skeptics. He spoke at a forum I attended and only took written, prescreened, questions (all friendly) which was a first for that setting. Normally hands are raised and a mic is handed to the questioner. He sues critics, and looses. (Partly because refuses to show his research). He hawks his books which are full of ad hominem and hyperbole and short on science. Anyone who lets himself be called “Mr. Global Warming” has lost the ability to view their own research critically.

Mann won’t show his work to skeptics... case closed If Mann was confident in his research, he would have done what Bill Booth did in the early 90’s at Carolina Sky Sports during the Easter or Thanksgiving boogie (I can’t recall which) when he unveiled the Sigma tandem rig. He explained its features and his reasoning for its design. He then asked the tandem instructors assembled, to tear it apart and find its faults, shortcomings and potential problems. After an hour long Q&A (none pre-screened) nobody could find a significant fault and everyone came away impressed. If climate science could bear the same scrutiny, I could be a convert.
