Steyn ridicules Michael Mann and other warmist scientists for claiming to be Nobel Prize winners. "Good ideas win out over bad and only a very weak idea demands that it must be protected from any criticism."; "Professor Ivar Giaevar, the Nobel prize winner- by the way when I say he's a Nobel prize winner, I mean he's a real one. He won the Nobel prize in physics in 1973. Not a fraudulent Nobel prize winner like, unfortunately, large members of Rear Admiral Titley's faculty, Michael Mann, Richard Alley, William Easterling, all of whom have falsely claimed to be Nobel prize winners on an industrial scale, as have many other climate scientists." ~ Mark Steyn
