When Nobel Fantasists Attack . . .


Mark Steyn is one of several being sued by Michael Mann for defamation. It seems that the good doctor has finally exposed himself as seriously delusional. Not just for filing this suit, but because he imagines himself as Nobel Prize winner. Is clinical insanity - or unbridled greed (Al Gore) a common characteristic of global warming hoaxers?

Just one more word on Nobel Peace Fauxreate Michael Mann’s suit against NR for mocking his hockey stick (I’m plowing through the charge sheet in between a sick kid and other more pressing matters). As we have established, Dr. Mann enjoys passing himself off as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. That’s all harmless fun until you make the mistake of believing your own sad fantasy. Paragraph five of the official complaint against me and NR reads:



It is one thing to engage in discussion about debatable topics. It is quite another to attempt to discredit consistently validated scientific research through the professional and personal defamation of a Nobel prize recipient.


Accepting for the purposes of argument that there is such a crime in U.S. law as “defamation of a Nobel prize recipient”, don’t you have to be a Nobel prize recipient to be the victim of it?

The Nobel Prize committee has no record of a Dr. Michael Mann ever receiving a Nobel Prize. He is a “Nobel prize recipient” only in the canyons of his mind – unless he paid $19.95 for a Nobel diploma from a prestigious online self-help academy in Kazakhstan or some such.
