Mike Hulme's blistering critique of Michael Mann's Machichean world view and longstanding & successful effort to demonize his invented "enemies" is spot on: "Wars, battles, attacks, fights, and enemies litter its 260 pages"

In 2017 I gave a talk titled, "Climate Politics as Manichean Paranoia" which you can see here: rogerpielkejr.com/2017/07/24/cli…
In that talk I name-checked Mann as a leading proponent of a "paranoid style" of politics (slide below from my talk)

Side note:
I'm not in Mann's new War book despite his ubiquitous attacks on me on social media & behind-the-scenes
Why not?
I'm a witness deposed in his ongoing lawsuit (another battle!) & surely writing lies/mean things about me wouldn't have looked good!
