Climate scientists, Drs. Mann, Jones and Hansen were nominated and approved for a Nobel Prize. The Drs. had written several manuscripts detailing climate change (aka global warming or new ice age depending on the time and rquirements). Wannabe self-proclaimed climate change expert Al Gore based his movie on the climate change trios manuscript. The Nobel prize science committee encountered several problems initially when trying to verify the data, models and results for the manuscripts. Their publisher, IPCC stated that they had no data, models or results for the committee to review even though it was commonly accepted that those items would be submitted before publishing. The committee was referred to Dr. Jones who was the custodian of the raw data. Unfortunately, Dr. Jones' dog ate the raw data and none was available for review. Dr. Jones referred the committee to Dr. Hansen at NASA who might have copies of the data. Dr. Hansen stated that his dog had eaten his copies of the raw data and had mangled the model specifications. Dr. Hansen suggested that the committee contact Dr. Mann. Dr. Mann stated that he did not have any raw data and had never even seen it. He had based his input on a theoretical model called the Hockey Stick which provided input data based upon the desired results. Although the Hockey Stick Model was up and running, it was double super secret and could not be viewed by anyone other than Dr. Mann. Although the committee seemed to be stymied, a committee member who had been previously on the Obama award committed came up with a unique idea .... give the good Drs. the Nobel Prize for Literature in Science Fiction. Good science fiction spins a yarn based only upon a bit of science. The Drs. had done such a good job spinning their tale that even journalists and political groupies actually believed their tale was actual science. Jimmie Carter, Al Gore, Barrack Obama and David Copperfield will be attending the presentation ceremony.
The Nobel prize has become a common lollipop........
Geting nominated is not the same as getting.
Rush gets nominated for the peace prize every year.
The Nobel Prize committee has scant reputation to protect or prestige to lend anymore.
The Nobel Prize lost all credibility and got tossed on the trash heap of history when they gave one to nobama. Total farce. Who gives a rat’s ass?
If Mann gets one, then Lance Armstrong should get one. Doesn’t really matter for what, it’s all just as phony.
What did they win the Nobel Prize for? Fraud?
What a farce!
Something called the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in 2007.
Scientists associated with the IPCC may have claimed that they were awarded the prize or those who support them may have made such a claim.
The IPCC may have singled out its collaborators as key contributors to their winning the prize.
But those scientists didn't win the prize.
FYI: Fall is the "Nobel Prize Season." If you see in February that somebody has just been awarded a Nobel Prize, be suspicious.
Mann CLAIMED to have won the NPP, and was called out by those who knew better such as Anthony Watts, of wattsupwiththat.com and Climate Audit.
This acknowledgement concerns a Peace Prize, not a Science Prize.
It has become a reward for fraud. These clowns are proven frauds. Not sure when that comical practice began, to make a comedy out of what was once a respected honor. But it had to start long before Winnie Mandela and friend...

How an energy economist, Nobel laureate, and former government adviser found himself blocking a coal train
By Mark Jaccard
Another guy who claims to be a Nobel laureate because an organization he worked for was given the award. If you really press him about it he'll admit that he was "just one of hundreds who shared the prize for our collective work" (which isn't quite true either, since the organization was awared the prize), but you have to press the point pretty hard before he'll admit anything.
