Michael Mann: It's game over for the Keystone pipeline

LA County and Orange County pump oil out from under residential neighbourhoods but oil sands is bad according to CA politicians.,
They're advertising their beaches and parks all the time. And last I looked CA was not a country.
Mann is a liar, a con artist, and a fellow scientist and lead author on the IPCC has testified before Congress that Mann's "research" is fraudulent.
Obviously, Steyn did NOT defame anyone.
That's right! I was shocked to see that when I visited L.A. Oil Wells pumping away just like in Texas and right in neighborhoods.
The boom in the Dakotas must really be bothering alarmists these days.
My problem is Steyn and Levant is their use of the term "alarmist." Those two practically define the word. Tune into either of them on any given subjet du jour and they will be tolling the end of civilization as we know it. Lots of heat, not much light.
Those fields have existed for more than a century. They couldn't be developed today because of California's extreme environmentalism.
Do you think California is still part of the United States? It doesn't even feel like America out here.
Nothing but a few billion and passing environmental standards stopping you from building one grump .
But like every one else who wants to build refineries in Canada you expect others to build it .
Why not put your money where your mouth is ?
Ever looked into the multiple revisions needed to fix Christy's UAH code? I'd bet not. You could have said the same thing about Christy's work. It was a misrepresentation of reality. It's still undergoing fixes to convert the satellite sampling of microwaves emitted from oxygen atoms into an analog of surface temperature. Christy disagrees with Mann on a lot, despite his claims of fraud, no governing body of science or society has yet to find Mann guilty of fraud.
So Steyn is going to have a hard time, I guess he figured that out when he decided it wasn't a good idea to represent himself when the court dismissed his counterclaims. Obviously Steyn called Mann a fraud, and obviously fraud does not rest on the word of a scientist like Christy with a conflicting theory.
That's kind of what the justice system is for.
America is supposed to have a huge middle class. California doesn't. One third of all US welfare cases are in California. Twenty four percent of the residents here are officially classified as dirt poor. Less than half of the people here are officially middle class. California has a third world class system. California has almost the worst public school system in the country.
But California is great if you have lots of money. Does that answer your question?
Wasn't Michael Mann a protege of Jerry Sandusky at Pennsylvania State University?
Michael Mann says it's cheaper to combat climate change than pay for global warming
American climatologist Michael Mann has been at the heart of the war of words over climate change for the last 15 years.
The author of the book The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars, in which he examines who is behind the campaigns to discredit scientists who believe in global warming, argues it is cheaper to wean ourselves from fossil fuels than to pay for the damage caused by global warming.
Known for his scientific analysis of temperature records over the last 1,000 years, his "hockey stick" graph depicting the impact of climate change and global warming became a defining symbol of man's influence on the environment.
In an interview on CBC-TV’s The Lang & O’Leary Exchange, Mann said the evidence for climate change is mounting, despite fluctuations caused by El Nino and volcanic events.
“Evidence for human influence on climate change just becomes stronger with each additional year of data that ... comes in,” he said.
“Indeed we’re seeing unprecedented warmth, we’re seeing unprecedented melt of sea ice up in the Arctic.”
Mann, who works at the Earth Systems Science Centre at Penn State University, issues a call to citizens to wake up and demand action from leaders before it’s too late.
“Will we commit to a level of dangerous interference with the climate that commits us to rapid melting of the ice sheets, to abrupt changes in drought patterns,” he said.
“The fear is that we may approach one of these climate tipping points before we approach the other tipping point – the tipping point in the public consciousness – the recognition that through the emissions we are making now, we are locking in global warming and climate change for decades to come.”
He argues that not acting to slow global warming is already costing the economy – through damage from extreme weather events, drought, wildfire and flooding.
It would be cheaper to take action, he argues, but the public debate is being poisoned by climate deniers funded by powerful private interests.
Mann is a perennial target of climate change deniers, the subject of physical threats, mocking YouTube videos, Republican politicians and chat shows accusing him of shoddy science.
His emails with researchers at the Climatic Research Unit in East Anglia were part of an international controversy when they were leaked by hackers in 2009.
Mann laments the “huge gulf” between acceptance of climate change in the scientific community and the doubt in the political sphere.
“Here in the U.S. we have a House of Representatives with a science committee led by a Republican politicians that don’t even accept that climate change is real,” he said.

Based on Michael Mann's "research", chances are it isn't real.
