Mann tells his audience climate change deniers are endangering your children, but mostly avoids urging specific action. If a \u201cdenier\u201d gets murdered by a climate nut who thinks his act of violence will protect the children, Mann\u2019s hands are clean \u2013 he never told the climate nut to pick up a gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I\u2019m calling out Mann for always being at the rear ranks of the angry mob, then I\u2019m not going to emulate his cowardice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do I think should be done about Michael Mann?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is \u2013 nothing. Mann\u2019s personal failure is punishment enough. Mann is already mostly an irrelevance. The pinnacle of his political efforts, the COP climate conferences he helped build into a significant global political event, have degenerated into an annual oil and gas sale bazaar run by Arab petro-sultans<\/a>. Major CO2 emitters like India<\/a> and China<\/a> barely even pretend to care about the Western climate obsession, both are openly competing with each other to expand coal powered industrial capacity as rapidly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mann\u2019s life\u2019s work is in ruins, and every passing year further hilights his utter failure. He can keep ranting all he wants \u2013 outside his audience of climate diehards, Mann\u2019s words simply don\u2019t matter any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t feel intimidated by Mann\u2019s climate rants \u2013 in my opinion Mann\u2019s wild tweets are entertaining parody. Other than the remote possibility a violent ecolune will take him seriously, reading or watching Mann\u2019s latest rant is like watching an angry hand puppet on the Muppet Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mann will not be remembered as another Einstein or Newton, as one of the science greats. At most Mann will be a historical footnote, someone who made a few wild climate predictions which didn\u2019t come to pass, an uninteresting one liner in a history of science book whom people of the future browse past and rapidly forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
