Scientific Mal-Practice from the Mann Himself

In an August the  5th 2018 article in Salon titled “On Climate Change it’s time to start panicking” Michael E Mann bare faced lies to an unsuspecting public saying that it is still possible to avoid a dangerous 2C temperature rise on this beleaguered planet.
“The good news is that humanity hasn’t passed the point of no return, at least when it comes to the total destruction of our species (we have definitely passed that point when it comes to avoiding any kinds of lasting consequences). If we are to stave off even worse examples of extreme weather than the hurricanes, wildfires, floods, droughts and heat waves we’ve already experienced, however, we need to start implementing intelligent policies — and do so now.”
At this point in the article I urge informed readers to get a bucket to spew into when you read the following orchestrated litany of lies from the Mann Himself;

“I would place a price on carbon,” Michael E Mann, a Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State, told Salon by email. “Whether this takes the form of a carbon tax (a revenue-neutral carbon tax? fee and dividend? cap-and-trade?), I leave that to the policymakers to determine as long as they accept, as the premise for policy, what the science has to say about the reality and threat of climate change. The price on carbon needs to be set such that it leads to a reduction in carbon emissions of several percent a year for the next few decades. If we do that, we can avoid a catastrophic 2C (~3.5 F) warming of the planet.”

If the reader has been paying any attention at all regarding the unfolding catastrophe and is aware of all the tipping points we have already crossed, they will know that this goal is impossible and the statement a blatant lie from a world renowned scientist. The ‘Go to guy’ for the corporate media. How dire must the situation be for Mann to be lying blatantly like this?
How the fuck will a tax over “the next few decades” prevent us from crossing the 2C rubicon when we are already something like 1.7C above the 1700 baseline, the only one we should be using. Factor in the 10 to 30 year lag between cause and effect of our emissions and it’s clear 2C is an impossibility?
For pities sake, 2C is baked in now, not decades into a future that will never arrive.
I take no pleasure in calling Mann a liar but the facts speak for themselves.

I’ll give you a hint where this is going to and coming from; “He also rejected the idea promoted by many on the left that a lasting solution to global warming is impossible under a free-market capitalist economic system.” “I’m unconvinced that is true,” Mann explained. “In the past, market mechanisms for pricing environmental externalities have worked. We acted on acid rain and ozone depletion within a market economy framework. The real problem, in my view, isn’t the nature of our economic system, it’s the way that special interests and plutocrats have blocked the sort of common-sense market approaches to dealing with environmental problems that were once supported by democrats and republicans alike. The problem is the moral and ethical rot that now lies at the very center of the republican establishment, the lack of good faith and the total sellout to special interests and plutocrats.”Can you Smell a free-market capitalist rat yet?

Not only is the liar saying that market forces can fix this predicament, he’s blaming the Republicans. Hilary Clinton’s script writer couldn’t have put it ‘better’. Maybe they wrote it for him?
Mann is patently owned by the very same corporations that are grinding the living planet into dust.
We have covered previously on this blog the “Total Lack of Urgency” being shown by scientists when covering our predicament. Contrast that with Meyer Hillman’s owning up on his death bed; “Were Doomed, Meyer Hillman on the climate reality that no one else will dare mention” 
Typically The Guardian in their title above ignored the seminal work of Professor Guy McPherson who has been raising the extinction alarm since 2012.
Check out this excellent expose’ of Mann making a liar of himself “Irony of Inaction- With “Honest” MIchael Mann

There is no past analogue for the rapidity of what we are baring witness to.
There has been a flood of articles recently from very mainstream as well as alternative media about the climate crisis where they admit that 2C is no longer attainable and that we are heading for dangerous climate change ( appallingly Greenpeace said on twitter today that 1.5C is achievable !!!!! Now they are outright lying as well.)
The media have been forced to address the predicament because of the rapidity of change yet still they aren’t conveying the true severity of the unfolding catastrophe and the rapidity of the change.
I’ve repeatedly quoted Albert Bartlett with his seminal statement “One of the greatest shortcomings of the human race is it’s inability to understand the exponential function”. We are now in the non-linear stage of the unraveling, there are few alive who will understand how quickly it will fall apart from here on despite our efforts to convey the urgency of the situation.

Kevin Sandbloom from  Black Bear News  also calls out Mann and his ‘tax’ and  the nuclear industry for their lies in the following embedded link;  French nuclear productionreduced by 31 GW due to heatwave !! So much for Nukes saving the planet from climate change!

    • Carbon emissions are starting to plateau? That the first I’ve heard of that happening! As a matter of fact the dent in emissions due to Covid lock-downs last year seem to have surged right on past 2019’s emissions this year. And don’t listen to the DOOMERS because, well you know, they’re too depressing and of course technology is going to save us.

      Another massive storm system with up to 80mph winds is pouring down the West Coast and then zipping up & across the Midwest & South again just like last Friday’s radical weather. More tornadoes without a doubt, how could it not be a repeat unless people are very very lucky. Wednesday in the US might be just like last Friday.

      Huge dry cell lines stretched across multiple states sucking moisture up from the Gulf, hot air running into cold air…all due to hit TOMORROW. Huge alarm bells going off all across the Midwest. 70s to 80s F, where it should be snowing this time of year… I’ve got paternal family in Iowa which looks like it’ll be hit at least as hard as Kentucky was four days ago.

      Snowfall at 5 inches an hour in the California Sierras, too. An hour? A 24 hour storm would put down…3.33 meters of snow in one day. Unless my calculator is wrong. Did I drop a decimal point?

    • Humor on the movie Don’t Look Up from roaming charges:

      + Perhaps the funniest joke in Don’t Look Up is that the two “scientists” who discover the killer comet with “data” are portrayed by actors who both dropped out of high school, which is, of course, “vurry Amuricahn”, as Ezra Pound would say.
      + Don’t Look Up is in the same predicament as the Onion. We live in an age that defies satire and parody. It may be the lone immunity we’ve developed over the last decade.
      + This is why Don’t Look Up is more a collection of gags, some funnier than others, than a successful satire. “In a video, Rep. Madison Cawthorn claims he got married after a guy he met at a Russian casino scammed him into attending a CrossFit competition that didn’t actually exist, but “put me in the same room with the girl who would eventually become my fiancée.””
      + Much more dangerous than the politicians who tell you “Don’t Look Up” are the politicians who encourage you to “Look Up” and then while your attention is diverting from looking up, quietly offer oil leases on 82 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico…
      + Another of the unintended ironies of Don’t Look Up is that Leonardo DiCaprio–who privately jetted with Israeli models (humans, not charts) to climate soirees–is pushing EVs as a climate solution, which of course require the very rare earth metals the Rylance/Musk character is so eager to mine at any price.
      + Here’s another example of how widely the satire of Don’t Look Up misses its mark. In the “Don’t Look Up” J6-style rally, one of the crude caricatures of a redneck Trump supporter accidentally looks up and sees the comet for the first time, turns to Jonah Hill’s Don Jr. character and says, “They lied to us!” and throws a Slurpee at him. That’s not the way it turned out, of course. Last week Trump bragged about getting a Covid booster shot and was pelted with boos and accusations that he was Fauci’s pet.\
