“It’s irrelevant to the actual conversation that is taking place today about the climate crisis,” Mann told me in an email. “Republicans might try to prop up this latest desperate gambit. But the conversation has moved on, and this is really just a distraction and a sideshow.”
He's also the "expert" whose famous hockey stick paper got very publicly and embarrassingly debunked by internet randos, who he then sued specifically to engage in nothing more than legal harassment. After years of dragging out the cases by refusing to file paperwork they all got dropped because the defendents mounted a truth defense, and Mann couldn't/wouldn't actually follow through his dispute with them. IPCC meanwhile quietly shelved his claims.
It's telling that Mann resorts immediately to partisan ideological warfare (anyone who disagrees with me is a republican!) That shit obviously works in climatology, but it isn't science.

More than 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is mainly caused by humans, according to a new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies.
From the article:
“Looking at the list of signatories, there are a lot of engineers, medical doctors, and petroleum geologists and almost no actual climate scientists,” said Zeke Hausfather, a longtime research scientist at Berkeley Earth, a non-partisan nonprofit that specializes in analyzing climate data, and the former director of climate and energy programs at the Breakthrough Institute, another independent environmental research firm.
I'd certainly love to see climate discussions that openly talk about facts, but it always seems to wind down to the Horrific Apocalypse Mitigators vs. the Crusaders Against Government Overreach.

This new one seems to have about as much credibility as past petitions by so called 'Scientists'.
