The Streisand effect and a cold mountain-top


GREEN CRAP

 

In Days of Old, When Knights were Bold, and Rubbers weren't invented—


It's manifestly evident that Greens have no interest in the science that clearly, and overwhelmingly, show that AGW (man caused climate change) is utter crap.  Yes, in days of yore all of them would have been left on a chilly mountain-top to die, by parents who instinctively recognized (they could actually smell it back then) that their new baby was a genetically flawed mutant who, allowed to survive, would corrupt the gene pool.  Some obviously cheated. Thanks to science, they get to live and multiply now.   Sigh.

Anyway, a little while ago Mark Steyn wrote this piece for NRO.

In the wake of Louis Freeh’s report on Penn State’s complicity in serial rape, Rand Simberg writes of Unhappy Valley’s other scandal:

I’m referring to another cover up and whitewash that occurred there two years ago, before we learned how rotten and corrupt the culture at the university was. But now that we know how bad it was, perhaps it’s time that we revisit the Michael Mann affair, particularly given how much we’ve also learned about his and others’ hockey-stick deceptions since. Mann could be said to be the Jerry Sandusky of climate science, except that instead of molesting children, he has molested and tortured data in the service of politicized science that could have dire economic consequences for the nation and planet

Much to everyone's amusement (anticipating the Streisand effect, don't you know), Mann threatened to sue Steyn.  All this led to Anthony Watt's must read column, Best Michael Mann headline evah. 

The  point being then, that if we must suffer this plague of climate charlatans and their client asshats, let's at least have fun with them.  I think that's from Alinsky.  Plus, it's ingrained human behavior to want someone to feel superior too, and here they serve me.

Mann takes the bait: It's on!

Or maybe he's lying about the lawsuit too?
