Climate Doomsayer Michael Mann Resigns After Smearing Charlie Kirk as Head of ‘Trump’s Hitler Youth’

After reposting a comment calling slain conservative Charlie Kirk the “head of Trump’s Hitler youth,” media-heralded climate alarmist Dr. Michael Mann has resigned from his position at the University of Pennsylvania.

In a statement announcing his resignation Monday, Mann said his activism conflicts with the university’s “established institutional neutrality policy.”

On September 14, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported on the widespread backlash to Mann’s Hitler/Kirk comparison:

“Penn Earth and Environmental Science professor Michael Mann faced criticism for social media activity — including reposts and a since-deleted post of his own — regarding the assassination of conservative media personality and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“Mann's comments on social media — including reposting a message that called Kirk ‘the head of Trump's Hitler Youth’ — faced backlash from prominent conservative pundits and social media commentators, including Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.). The posts have since been deleted.”

“This is despicable behavior,” Senator Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) wrote in a social media post condemning Mann’s smear of Kirk:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I believe the good professor had tilted a couple bubbles off of level in recent months. :tongue2:

The Global Climate Change Hoax jig is up.

The science is settled, so we don't need 'climate scientists' anymore.  They can learn to code.

He’s resigning because he doesn’t want to be constrained by the university’s policy of nonpartisanship.  In other words, he wants to be an advocate, not a scientist.

Methinks there is more behind-the-scenes here.

I sense that the powers-from-above told him to resign, or be fired.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

He crossed that line a long time ago.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
