In #DontLookUp Leonardo DiCaprio plays a climate scientist inspired by @MichaelEMann.
The real-life expert weighs in on whether Leo did him justice on film, and if the doctor becoming a sex symbol in the Netflix hit was art imitating life. pic.twitter.com/LLhQiQVWUe

Climate Scientist Michael Mann Denies He is a Sex Symbol
If Dr. Mindy is based on Mann, then we should note the description of Mindy by the character Peter Isherwell, who told Mindy:
You’re a Lifestyle Idealist.
You think you’re motivated by ideological beliefs, but you’re not.
You run towards pleasure.
You run away from pain, like a field mouse.
Your death will be unremarkable and boring.
You’re going to die alone.
quotes slightly paraphrased to condense.
Sure Dr. Mann he’s just like you.
