This Michael Mann-
When a journalist attempted to confirm that Mann was a Peace Prize recipient, a Nobel official said he was not. Presumably, someone then suggested it would be a good idea for the IPCC to clarify this matter.
Two weeks after Mann filed his legal papers, the IPCC issued a statement contradicting Pachauri’s 2007 proclamation. It says the prize was awarded to the IPCC as a whole “and not to any individual associated with the IPCC. Thus it is incorrect to refer to any IPCC official, or scientist who worked on IPCC reports, as a Nobel laureate or Nobel Prize winner.”
The IPCC posted the statement on its website, but it didn’t send a copy to the same list of people who received Pachauri’s earlier, erroneous message. Nor did it issue a press release.
Five years after the fact, the IPCC finally acknowledged that its chairman and others have been wearing medals made of tinfoil on their chests. But that in no way prevented The Walrus from telling its readers, months afterward, that those medals are real.

You didn't complete your first sentence. The comment came from Professor Michael Mann, currently director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University and most assuredly a scientist. The comment is nothing more than an offhand remark. The deniers here would like us to believe it is some concerted effort to end climate research. The comment was meant to point out that the evidence that the world is getting warmer has become blatantly obvious. Don't get pulled in to this Matthew, it is just more denier bullshit - the sort of bullshit one pulls up when one has no real basis with which to argue.
