Another weather prediction from so-called climate expert Michael E. Mann was spectacularly wrong. In April, the climate scientist predicted an incredible 33 named storms — ”the highest count ever predicted” — for the Atlantic hurricane season. With December 1 came the end of of the 2024 season, and only 18 named storms, far short of Mann’s prediction of 33.
In the world of climate zealotry, few of the alleged climate experts are more annoying and full of their own version of virtue than climatologist and geophysicist Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann’s infamous “hockey stick graph” featured prominently in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth in 2006.
Climate realist Steve Milloy said of Mann’s failed hurricane prediction on X: “Hurricane season ends, leaving egg on the face of stolen valor, fake Nobelist @MichaelEMann. Climate hoaxer Mann sensationally predicted 33 named storms — “the highest count ever predicted.” There were only 18. Mann actually achieved the “wrongest count ever predicted.”
Mann smugly predicted the busiest hurricane season ever and was wrong — incredibly wrong — yet, he will still expect people to listen to him as a soothsayer for the climate-hysteria movement. When such an icon of the climate-change movement experiences such a colossal failure such as Mann’s hurricane prediction, isn’t it fair to ask exactly what happened?
