Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t Dr. Willie Soon, Climate Depot – In the wake of Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance in “Don’t Look Up”, Michael Mann has gone all coy about whether DiCaprio’s portrayal fully corresponds with his life as a scientist whose warnings have been disregarded.
Words fail me.
[Prepublication addendum from Charles]
If Dr. Mindy is based on Mann, then we should note the description of Mindy by the character Peter Isherwell, who told Mindy:
You’re a Lifestyle Idealist.
You think you’re motivated by ideological beliefs, but you’re not.
You run towards pleasure.
You run away from pain, like a field mouse.
Your death will be unremarkable and boring.
You’re going to die alone.
quotes slightly paraphrased to condense.
Sure Dr. Mann he’s just like you.
[\ addendum]
Speechless.
Couldn’t have said it better.

Happy Orthodox Christmas day to all who celebrate today by the old Jillian calendar.
vuk
Does the gag reflex count as speech?
Obviously caused by climate change, I mean everything else is /sarc
I just put my Poptarts back in the freezer.
Did April fools day come early this year?
True, Michael Mann actually got something right.
“Pildown” Mann is “right sexy” – second only to Fat Bastard.
Austin Powers – Best Of Fat Bastard – YouTube
Guess his modesty is his only weakness 😉
At least he’s claiming something that’s true, for once.
Even so, he made it clear that he was on a first name basis with “Leo.”
“Words fail me.”
Acronyms should do: “ROFL!”
Mindy reminds me of Mork.
Are we sure Mann wasn’t playing Mork instead of Mindy from Mork And Mindy?
Nanu Nanu!
Mann could excite the Polar Bears.
Hungry polar bears…very hungry.

Mike the Mann appeals to certain types-

What a horrible thought. Imagine if they bred 🙂
I think I want to throw up at this point.
Thanks, Richard. Made me laugh.

“ Wad some power the fifie gie us
Tae see oorselves as ithers see us”
Would be too introspective for our Mikey
Isnt he a little sweetie though !
Fifie? That really demands an explanation right there.
fifie must = giftie, in his version.
Or he types kinda like me.
Teh horror.
I guess some women (or men) are attracted to weak-chinned, shifty-eyed blowhards. Not.
It’s a tough gig out there on the hustings signing autographs when some of your adoring fans get too frisky and have to be taken away to calm down-

From his expression it looks like the old proverbial “the cops have him by the balls.”
Maybe one of the cops is lifting him by the back of the underwear.
Nuclear wedgie.
You’re not broadening your view enough. I’m sure many a dominatrix would love to introduce his hockey stick to her particular skills.
Is that where the sun don’t shine?
🙂
There are hard core killers in jail who get letters from women. Fame is exciting. Even the fraudulent ones.
“I guess some women (or men) are attracted to weak-chinned, shifty-eyed blowhards.”
You forgot to add Liar to the list.
Oh, please! Just follow the money. Mikey gets fat grants for his “research” gig. It’s debatable how he spends it but it isn’t on getting a weave or new shirts.
new pix? now i feel bad for him. thanks
Just as Republicans want to date AOC because she is so attractive.
I had a girlfriend like AOC once, pretty, good fun, but I just couldn’t cope with the mindless chatter, she never shut up.
With me those types never got to the girlfriend stage. One night stand, at best.
AOC never makes any sense. She is as clueless as Kamala Harris.
AOC is being promoted as presidential material in some quarters. You think it’s bad now? Wait until a dufus like AOC gets in the Oval Office. Let’s hope that nightmare scenario never happens. It will be all over then. It might be all over if we don’t manage to oust these radical Democrats from power in the next election.
Remember, it doesn’t matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes.
I think that was the problem the last time around.
AOC is trying to eliminate Blonde jokes.
She is doing a pretty good job of it.
She is attractive. But that’s it.
Everything else negates that, though. To list just a few of those negations:
More often than not, for attractive women (and men for that matter) attractiveness is the ONLY good quality they have.
OK, I don’t get it, how is she attractive? Big nose, bucky teeth, no chin, and too much eye makeup to try to keep you from noticing; irritating squeeky 14 year old voice. How is any of this attractive? 🙈
Familiarity with, and attachment to, certain characteristics throughout a persons (early) life contributes to the things they find attractive.
My guess is that Leowaj may grown up around, or owned, a donkey that he liked.
?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500
(she is (becoming) the face of the Democrat party).
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.
I don’t think AOC is ugly, but she’s definitely not my type, so I wouldn’t want to date her. I can imagine that conversation! 🙂
Mann breaks GuffawOmeter
Props to Mann! He’s got something right, for once.
Perhaps he has a sense of humor after all. 😉
of course he has a sense of humor, he laughs all the way to the bank.
Science Mann denies:
Every 1km squared by 11km squared is 10,784,313 grams of which 4497 grams is carbon dioxide. Far infrared (2898 (half suns temperature in kelvin) divided by 15 micrometer (193.5K))) CO2 absorption. Earths heat is longwave radiation 8-14 micrometers, the transparent part of the spectrum. CO2 and other gases absorb much shorter waves heating the stratopause in polar regions where sunlight is 24hrs. The difference between 24hr darkness polar region and 24hr sunlit polar region at 10hpa is 158 watts. Fake science has 158 watts added to the 240 watts of sun energy. Actual measurements has it just over 100 warts. If the human body didn’t have 1 bar pressure, the atmosphere would crush us. These scientist think a fictional film about a asteroid hitting earth equals the damage carbon dioxide can do to the planet. Shows how far from reality they really are.
He is a massive d..k so he must be manhood symbol🤷♂️
Mickey Mann is not so much a broken record as a broken ideologue.
The idea that anyone could imagine Di Caprio framed his role in order to present a hidden sexual beast in his science mentor Mann, is so disturbing to even imagine, I am reaching for the sick bucket as I write this,
If as Mann tries to suggest, the film was a strong aid to enliven peoples attitude to Climate Change risks, then he is as far away from reality on this as his interpretation of Bristle cone pines was/is.
On the plus side, Mann has said something truthful when he denied the sexually attractive title, applied to him. Full marks for honesty Michael try to reproduce that nice warm feeling of honest reflection more often. You never know, people might come to actually like you….. 🙂
“You never know, people might come to actually like you…..”
As far as I’m concerned: Once a liar, always a liar.
Hmmm. to me, looks more like the inspiration for the 2021 Marks & Spencer Christmas ad..

If they wanted to portray Mann they would have chosen a different actor.
He was the third velociraptor on the left in Jurrasic Park
Lol, I was thinking of the coder in Jurrasic Park.
Neumann!!!
You are more right than you suspect
Maybe that’s why he has that sort-of-beard?
He lost his can of shaving cream!

DiCaprio’s character was portraying an altruistic, honest person. Michal Mann is a liar and a deceiver of the world when it comes to Human-caused Climate Change.
DiCaprio would have to be lying about a comet strike, the way Mann lies about Climate Change, in order to portray Michael Mann properly, and in character.
Are we sure that Mann is not an actor who tries to play a scientist in real life?
Heh, the cause must go on.
===========
Just like Faux-Xi.
Well there you have it: 100% accurate statement by Mr Mann.
You can’t keep calling him a total liar now…
The Piltdown Mann is dead, long live the grifft.
===============
We will settle for just calling Michael Mann a liar in conjunction with his claims about Human-caused Global Warming/Climate Change.
Michael Mann hasn’t published any science at all since his work with lanthanide ceramics in the early 1990s. Everything else has been pseudoscience. At least his version has sophisticated math. But then, a fully formed astrology must include relativistic mechanics.
Since The MannChild™ also probably didn’t lie about his name, that’s a
second non-lie in 24 years. At that rate, he should be up to five non-lies by
2100. WOW!!! That must be a world record of some kind, probably worthy of
a REAL Nobel Prize!!! Either that or it’s a case of “Oh, noes! We’re all going
to die!!! Bwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
A Gifted Liar such as Mann knows how to tell a trivial truth, whilst using it as a fig leaf to hide his numerous monstrous lies.
Gave you an upvote Griff
I’m encouraging your humanity or humanness
Keep it up
You on the other hand …
I’ll give you that … if he really meant it.
Sex symbols are of all shapes and shades
It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
You’re right. The MannChild™ could be a sex symbol in the human rat,
human reptile, or the human pig genders, just to name a few!
Amusing as it is to laugh at the contemptuous faker that is M.Mann, I have a sneaking suspicion that it is he who is having the last laugh…
…though it pains me to say it.
Contemptible, though both work.
==========
It’s not over yet.
I know – every time he gets paid for this rubbish he must have a bit of a chuckle to himself.
Finally Mickey and I agree on something. If he was responsible for making sure the human race survived based on his “sexiness” then we are on our way to extinction.
Mikey says the film is prescient because it shows the same sort of anti-science playing out with COVID 19. Now conspiracy nut Mikey blames global warming ‘anti-science’ squarely on Big Oil. So the question is, Mikey, who is behind COVID 19 ‘anti-science’?
MSNBC missed a trick if they didn’t approach anti-nausea medication manufacturers to run a commercial after this segment.
Initially, the plot doesn’t make a lot of sense as the MSM can’t wait to
needlessly scare the heck out of people over imaginary threats. Oh,
wait. It makes more sense once you realize the threat is REAL, which
is something they ALWAYS will ignore!!!
” Climate Scientist Michael Mann Denies He is a Sex Symbol ”
Such evidence does not need a formal denial.
Well he’s a lot closer to qualifying as a sex symbol than he is to being a scientist.
Can’t ague with that Dean, He has always been a complete cock, ever since he first tabled his hockey stick nonsense.
There are aspects of his character which don’t correspond directly to the “scientists” Mann knows involved in climate science?
I reckon he is talking about the ability to accurately predict what will happen.
I think that was stated with a Kiwi accent were e is pronounced with a u
You guys could post a spew alert, just out of pity, y’know.
Just for once,MM, you spoke the truth.
Not sex symbol – sucks symbol.
Comparing a fictional movie to fictional science in real life using two fictional sex symbols, that’s entertainment.
Mann & DiCaprio — this CDN prairie boy, still LOL at their connection. DiCaprio making a movie in Alberta continues to pontificate about the dramatic temperature change over a 24 hr period claiming it was due to Climate Change. The phenomena is so common, Indigenous have a word for it – Chinook – Which all Albertans use today.
Since the phenomena doesn’t happen in Mann’s Pennsylvania, it must be due to climate change
Yes, here in AB they are common
We may even get to +15c Monday and Tuesday if the jet stream bumps enough, after a few weeks of -30.
Chinooks and the winds associated can be brutal, I have seen -35 to +10c in 1 hour, and then the associated car accidents due to warm moist air blowing over roads and bridge decks that are 40-50c colder forming a sudden layer of frost where moments earlier was clear dry pavement.
DiCaprio story on the Revenant is not complete until you relate the punch line, that Mr Climate Emergency flew his entire movie production to Argentina just to get some final shots with snow after the alberta chinook melted it here.
How much CO2 did that emit?
That is the story, pure hypocrisy, or galactic level of unawareness.
Classic response of a narcissist
Everything is about him
Pathetic creature
No argument here.
Well, duh!
Maybe to a hamster.
First AOC and now this. Seriously, leftist aren’t considered sexy even by other leftist.😃
After a few more drinks for both, maybe AOC and Mann will go on a date?
Nature is discarding his warnings.
Ah yes… the old Hollywood “Do as I say, not as I do!”

Don’t look up… you might see Leonardo DiCaprio being an eco hypocrite on his £110million yacht
He is a celebrity UN climate change ambassador who has called the issue ‘the most urgent threat facing our entire species’.
But while he urges fans to take action, Leonardo DiCaprio has been spending time on one of the world’s biggest, and most environmentally unfriendly, superyachts.
