Mann has made a name for himself by famously postulating things that have not come true. That makes him a perfect keynote speaker for a group that exists to mislead people by ignoring anything that contradicts their Dogma.
Dr. Mann is also well known for suing people who refute his hockey stick, the data for which he then refuses to provide in defense of his claims of legitimacy. He sued Dr. Tim Ball. That ended with the case dismissed and Mann being ordered to pay Ball’s court costs. Mann sued National Review, a case that muddled about for eight years before being dismissed. They have also sought court costs, as has CEI, which I believe was accused of harming Mann’s livelihood – proof that Mann also refused to produce.
And he has a “girlfriend” in Canada. Just don’t ask for any pictures.
Mann has refused to pay the court costs (by the way) of either Ball or National Review (they asked, not sure if they were awarded). So, aside from being quick to sue, he is also a sore loser who doesn’t pay the legal bills of those he tries to ruin through lawfare when they contradict “sources and methods” he refuses to release.
I guess The Forest Society is just another bunch of Mann-Boys (Mark Steyn’s name for his fan club), which includes the troglodytes at Penn State who hid the sexual antics of Jerry Sandusky and who continue to pander the musing of Michael Mann, probably because they make money from it.
And Mann is coming to Concord, New Hampshire, on September 24th, so we whould expect the Climateers and their corporate media stenographers to embrace the Mann-Love while ignoring the controversy surrounding him, his “science,” and Penn State.
We look forward to the experience.
One final note. I will give the “Forest Society” this much credit. Their over-the-top promotion (the Mann Bio) never mentions his “winning” the Nobel Peace Prize. That happens from time to time, and in this, at least, they got it right.
