Some people have no shame. Read this and marvel.

It is sad that with humanity facing catastrophic climate disruption as part of an existential threat that there are still people willing to attack Mike Mann, one of the real heroes of climate science, outrageous lies. But one must admire the well-funded denier campaign, carried forward by the likes of Rupert Murdoch and his “False News” network, for the campaign’s persistence in the face of massive evidence, its success in confusing much of the public, and creating a propioganda [sic] triumph equivalent to that of creationism in keeping Medieval nonsense embedded in the brains of many Americans. Unhappily the “triumph” may prove doom for many of our descendents [sic]. Mike Mann is admired by all real climate scientists, even those who may have same disagreements with him (there is no certainty in science, unlike in the world of denial propogandists [sic]) — and I know many of the leading players and follow the field closely. The best one can say of this silly collection of comments from hacks and has-beens, mixed with quotes-out-of-context, is that it is NOT a disgrace to the profession of its perpetrators, nor to their pimps.

Let Mark Steyn tell you who wrote it:

We have our first celebrity thumb’s down, from “P Ehrlich” – and yes, it’s that Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb. . . .

It’s not clear from P Ehrlich’s flaccid generalities whether he actually read the book, but, if he did bother to pick it up, I do hope he got as far as page 240, where he and his hero “Mike Mann” make a joint appearance:

Mann, Ehrlich, and Rahmstorf: What a scurrilous bunch. My sympathy to you and anyone else who has to deal with them. They’re gravediggers of science.

Or maybe he did get that far and this is one of those “quotes out of context” he’s complaining about.

Still, always nice to hear from one of the gravediggers. Keep digging, Professor.

Not evidence, not fact, not theory, not anything seems to deter these people. And why? Because there are idiots everywhere who lap it all up.
