The main point of this post is to show how much of a creep Michael Mann (global warming hockey stick hoax originator) truly is.
The "Craziness" of the Climate Science Echo Chamber
by Mark Steyn
Mann vs Free Speech
January 4, 2017
Steyn(good guy)>> the news that the distinguished climate scientist Judith Curry had decided to resign from her position at Georgia Tech:
The superficial reason is that I want to do other things...
The deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists.
Dr Curry elaborates:
A deciding factor was that I no longer know what to say to students and postdocs regarding how to navigate the CRAZINESS in the field of climate science. Research and other professional activities are professionally rewarded only if they are channeled in certain directions approved by a politicized academic establishment — funding, ease of getting your papers published, getting hired in prestigious positions, appointments to prestigious committees and boards, professional recognition, etc.
How young scientists are to navigate all this is beyond me, and it often becomes a battle of scientific integrity versus career suicide (I have worked through these issues with a number of skeptical young scientists).

Diehard Manniac blogger "Tamino", for example, condescendingly refers to the aforementioned and distinguished Dr Judith Curry as "Aunt Judy" (see https://nigguraths.wordpress.com/2014/05/23/biotech-biostitutes/), which appears to be a derogatory porno term for an older woman one would be willing to have sex with if no one younger was to hand. Given that Mann enthusiastically facilitated the reduction of scientific dispute to name-calling, it would be unreasonable to expect his Mannboys to confine themselves to merely the Holocaust echoes of "denier".
Indeed. So Mann, among his many contemptible acts, still enthusiastically promotes his pal Tamino. And if supposed "respectable" persons like Mann are okay with dismissing eminent scientists as porno milfs, don't be surprised if it catches on:
Curry is as dishonest as they come. Shes an attention seeker, whoring her credentials for adulation from angry old white men.
Another Mann-boosting climate activist takes it a step further:
Curry, however, is a supposed scientist who has (perhaps) literally gotten into bed with slime like Steyn.
...
Professor Sir Tim Hunt, FRS, who unlike Mann is a real Nobel Laureate, made some harmless remarks about "falling in love" with "girls" in the lab - and had his career ended instantly. But the most prominent woman in climate science worldwide is routinely compared to a whore - and Michael E Mann links day after day to the guy who does it. And David Appell uses the Aunt-Judy-is-a-whore expert as a source.
Nice girls in the lab you fall in love with=repellent misogyny that has no place in science.
Female climate scientists "literally" whoring and slutting around=perfectly respectable talking points in the climate-change debate.
For what it's worth, on the one occasion we've met, I found Dr Curry shrewd, insightful, very funny - and vivacious and attractive. But, best of all, she's fearless and resilient. Because you'd have to be.
...
As to my own little legal difficulties, Judith Curry cautioned Mann back when it all began:
Mark Steyn is formidable opponent. I suspect that this is not going to turn out well for you.
I despise Michael Mann for many reasons, not least for the damage his peculiar insecurities have done to honest inquiry and scientific integrity. But his disgusting treatment of Dr Curry ranks high on my list. And, however long it takes, I will ensure that her prediction from 2012 comes true.
