Leading climate doomsayer Michael Mann recently downplayed the importance of climate change science, telling Democrats that data and models "increasingly are unnecessary" because the impact is obvious.
"Fundamentally, I'm a climate scientist and have spent much of my career with my head buried in climate-model output and observational climate data trying to tease out the signal of human-caused climate change," Mr. Mann told the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee at a hearing.
"What is disconcerting to me and so many of my colleagues is that these tools that we've spent years developing increasingly are unnecessary because we can see climate change, the impacts of climate change, now, playing out in real time, on our television screens, in the 24-hour news cycle," he said.
Mr. Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, spoke before the committee June 17 in Phoenix.
His comment drew hoots from climate skeptics, including the website Greenie Watch, which posted his comment under the headline, "'Scientist' Michael Mann says there is no need for statistics: You can just SEE global warming."

“The data is unnecessary because we can pull it straight out of our a**es now.”
He should go back to making movies. I liked Heat and Last of the Mohicans.
Well according to a certain judge, we don’t need the constitution either.
There was some liberal on TV the other night, saying the science of climate change is proven because it shows last year was the warmest year on record. Never mind that the data is skewed upward because temperature monitors were moved to higher-heat heatsinks like black asphalt, near chimneys, etc. while the previous temperature monitors were in natural settings. Also that record keeping is spotty and short-term measured in decades relative to the millions of years of many changes. Michael Mann, idiot.
The effect can’t be measured but it’s true! It’s true!
Galileo and Newton rolling in their graves...
Every summer it is Global Warming, every winder it is Climate Change....
Next thing he will say is that rain is caused by clouds...
Seeing a teaching moment, I quietly suggested to WBill Jr. that he consider this, the next time he hears, "The science is settled." about anything.
He made the connection. :-)
Mann doesn't even lie well. I could counter these statements with actual facts in a few minutes.
This guy is an elitist moron.
I remember having to go to PSU for work (early to mid 1990s) and our group received a set of briefings about AGW. You could tell something was off, even back then.
Amazing how intuition works out, even back then.
He should have said “data are irrelevant”.
Datum is singular, data are plural.
He would have soot-dusted the polar caps in the 1970’s to prevent global cooling, I bet.
Isolate, humiliate, relegate to dustbin. Next.
What a fraud this guy is.
.
Michael Mann is no scientist!
He is a highly biased academician, totally unqualified to even comment on science.

65 degrees today in Chicago. Global warming. In late June.
Chalk Dust has rotted his brain , if he had one
How can you be a scientist if you don’t even use the scientific method?
Scammers like you don't listen to anything that disproves your leftist scheme to fleece the worlds taxpayers. In fact, just go straight to hell you frikkin' creep. The good people of the world are not going to put up with you for much longer. Your days lying to the world are numbered.
You mean like in October when the leaves fall the end is near?
“He should be in the State Pen.”
Well yano, the Dem official platform calls for penalties for climate fraudsters.
