Real Mann of Science™ Quits His Job

The Real Mann of Science™, super obnoxious, serial litigant, and fabricator of the completely pucked up hockey stick theory of climate grifting, Michael Mann, has finally run his vicious, miserable mouth one too many times.

For all of the obscene crusades against scientists and critics, verbal, in print, and in court, that this truly unhinged, think-skinned cultist has launched over the decades, the one thing he was sure he had was the immunity conferred by his position at the University of Pennsylvania.

He had a sacrosanct ivory tower and an income stream he could never be levered out of.

Penn would protect their climate cult Poster Boy, no matter how covered in the malodorous detritus of his tawdry, self-induced public scraps he was when he came scurrying back for cover. No personal or professional embarrassment or humiliation was too great for Penn to lock the doors before he got home.

…The Free Beacon article also has a terrific moral to the story.

…”Everything you need to know about the integrity of Michael Mann’s purported science research is illustrated by the Washington, D.C., court finding Mann engaged in ‘stunning’ misrepresentations to the court regarding his defamation case,” said James Taylor, the president of the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank.

“If you would like to know just how credible the climate alarmism movement is, just assess the ethics and honesty of its foremost talking head, Michael Mann,” he continued.

Mann is a walking, talking-too-much, malevolent cartoon character.

The notoriously litigant pissant was still smarting from a judge’s order, not only that he pay the National Review over half a million dollars for the bother he caused them, but that the lawsuit judgment he’d won against Mark Steyn was reduced from the million dollars Mann was counting on to pay off the National Review to $5001.

I have yet to see any update on either Mann’s appeal or whether he’d cut some sort of check to the aggrieved parties.

In the meanwhile though, the feisty reprobate’s nasty string of public insults continued unabated, Mann having learned zilch from his drubbing in the court system.

As our comrade Mitch noted back at the end of May, Mann was calling his fellow TDS sufferers ‘to arms,’ and sounding very insurrectiony as Trump announced plans to dismantle the Department of Education.

…Because Mann thinks now is the time to turn out the militia – in the constitutional sense of the term:

Michael Mann, a climate professor and senior administrator at the University of Pennsylvania, appeared to threaten President Donald Trump on Thursday evening, writing on social media that “we’re in second amendment territory” if the president doesn’t comply with a federal court injunction.

“If Trump doesn’t comply, we’re in second amendment territory,” Mann wrote on Bluesky. Mann—whom the University of Pennsylvania named as its inaugural vice provost for climate science, policy, and action in late 2024—later doubled down and defended his comments.

After some tapdancing in vegan leather shoes, the loon deleted the offending Bluesky post.

Not because he was wrong, you see, but because the rest of the world was too stupid to see he was right.

Mann was back throwing shade in the middle of August, taking the ‘everybody I don’t like is Hitler‘ trope to unoriginal new heights. He expressed his disappointment with Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s questioning the integrity of the previous national climate assessments, thusly:

…Asked about Wright’s comments on the national climate assessment reports, respected climate scientist Michael Mann said in an emailed comment to the Guardian: “This is exactly what Joseph Stalin did.”

Oh, Penn – how they loved him.

That statement by their prickly Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action was okey-dokey too. Not a peep out of the university.

So, of course, Mann felt invincible. Always had been, figured he always would be.

So he took that figurative shot.

Senior administrator at the University of Pennsylvania Michael Mann is on an unhinged generational run on X, reposting comments calling Charlie Kirk the “head of Trump’s Hitler Youth.”

Mann also wrote: “The white on white violence has gotten out of hand.”

…Does UPENN agree with their Director Center for Science, Sustainability & the Media?

REMINDER: Mann previously called for people to take up arms and form a militia against Trump. 

Is what happened to Charlie what Mann wants to happen to POTUS?

FACT: According to court documents, Mann was sanctioned for “knowingly feeding the jury false data” in a manner of misconduct that was “extraordinary in its scope, extent, and intent.”

Welp. The impregnable walls came tumbling down on the bald-headed troll inside.

The government settlement with UPenn needs to be reopened. Full audit of violent/radical left faculty and also the restoration of the Reverend Whitefield statue to the quad must be added.

Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick wasn’t messing around with the cretinous Mann any longer.

Mann:

WAAH

tapdance tapdance shuffle shuffle shuffle

…A University spokesperson declined to comment. 

“It is very disappointing that Senator McCormick has mis-portrayed me in this way, let alone made such inflammatory demands,” Mann wrote in a statement to The Daily Pennsylvanian. 

Mann — who also serves as the University’s inaugural vice provost for climate science, policy, and action — acknowledged that he “should have been more circumspect about the reposts given the incendiary social media environment in the wake of this tragic event.”

“I was not criticizing Charlie Kirk. I was criticizing those who were lionizing him as a paragon of free speech and good faith discourse,” Mann added. 

Mann later deleted the posts, writing on X, “I do NOT approve of the inappropriate & inflammatory language used to describe Kirk.” 

Mann didn’t approve of the words he himself used, and calling someone ‘the head of Trump’s Hitler youth‘ isn’t criticizing them.

Brilliant.

A completely unsatisfactory, miserable, but classic Mann response to a situation of his own bilious making. The pressure on the university had to be tremendous, because, as of the 29th, the Real Man of Science™ announced he was leaving a job he really, really needed to devote his time to being an ‘activist.’

Skulked right out of the university.

Penn’s Vice Provost for Climate Science, Policy, and Action Michael Mann announced his resignation from the role on Monday after an almost 11-month term.

In a Sept. 29 announcement made on his personal website, Mann stated that his scientific advocacy work conflicts with Penn’s “established institutional neutrality policy.” The announcement came two weeks after Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) called for Penn to take action against Mann in light of his social media activity — including reposts and a since-deleted post of his own — regarding the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

A request for comment was left with Mann. McCormick did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

‘Could no longer remain in his position‘ is doing a lot of heavy lifting for ‘resigning before they boot my ass for cause.’

Greta Thunberg in an empty boat off Gaza listening to ABBA on loop is more popular than this guy.

…He wrote on his blog that he could no longer remain in the vice provost role because his advocacy for science policy “feels in conflict with the nonpartisan role demanded of me as an administrator at a university with an established institutional neutrality policy.”

Mann, who has clashed with conservative lawmakers and officials who question people’s role in driving climate change, said the move was necessary after the publication of his new book with co-author Peter Hotez, “Science Under Siege,” which includes some criticisms of high-profile Republicans.

This is a good day.

A really good day.

Wherever this cranky pants lands, he won’t be there long because his ego will make it impossible for anyone to tolerate him. If he has to ‘work’ side by side with other scientists, what’s left of his professional reputation could well be shredded as well.

He doesn’t have one as a decent human being, so no skin off his flinty nose there.

Yeah. Good day.

The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
