Mann is the Penn State climatologist famous for inventing the "hockey stick" graph promoting the notion that planetary temperatures spiked in the 20th Century after a Golden Age of stasis...What Mann did was splice two separate data sets to create the illusion of spiking temperatures.

Mann has been suing anyone who criticizes him. In the current case, he failed to provide details of his work as directed by a Canadian court. The defendant has moved to have the case dismissed and Mann labeled as a scientific fraudster.

Its better than that!

Mann also has pay court costs for Ball.

Canadian courts have different rules.

Don’t expect the MSM to cover this story.

“Mann shot himself in the foot with that last. For several years, Mann had refused to produce his data for the court (in support of his own case), claiming that it was “proprietary.””

If I had scientific ‘proof’ of a coming global catastrophe, I would want my Data shared with the world.

Yeah, but he is still tormenting Mark Steyn in the corrupt D.C. courts who refuse to throw out Mann’s ridiculous lawsuit.

“Proprietary?!?” What, is he afraid someone else will claim his fraudulent data???

If he wants to sue anyone over proprietary information, he should sue Al Gore. He’s gotten rich off this scam for years! Follow Al’s money, Mann!

“Global Warming - Climate Change” world biggest hoax and scam.
Just like Obama causing Global Flooding by pissing in the ocean.
That much can humans contribute.
Elaborate scam to screw off taxpayers off their money!

Earth climate and changes are dependent on Sun’s and Sunspots activity supplying 99.99% of energy. Humans can do schit about it.
Volcano eruptions can produce much more distractions to climate than all humans and SUVs farting together.
CO2 is not poison, it is “food” for plants, which in turn produce Oxygen, that we need to breathe.
STOP the scam, jail all the scammers!!!
God bless and protect Mr. Trump!
MAGA!!!!

Very Good News:

"The defendant in the libel trial, the 79-year-old Canadian climatologist, Dr Tim Ball… is expected to instruct his British Columbia attorneys to trigger mandatory punitive court sanctions, including a ruling that Mann did act with criminal intent when using public funds to commit climate data fraud. Mann’s imminent defeat is set to send shock waves worldwide within the climate science community as the outcome will be both a legal and scientific vindication of U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a “hoax.”

Shaking. My. Head.

One holds a competitive manufacturing process proprietary. Not a matter that is supposed to be of common public concern!!

Oh wait, it WAS a manufacturing process. Manufacture of STORIES and LIES! Competing, of course, with truth which tells us that we lack any sort of certitude about affairs climatic, even approaching that of the warmists.

It’s like the earth, which the secular scientists will gladly aver is billions of years old, is some wilting snowflake according to same scientists, and even more so, humanity itself is some wilting snowflake!

Wait. Hey. Whoa.

The palaver about it in the cognoscenti circles, is a fraud.

Yeah, the climate changes. It always does. The PROGNOSTICATIONS foisted on us by sleight of hand all seem to be biased to catastrophic warmism.

God’s gonna have the last laugh here. As usual. Psalm 2.

Mann has been waging lawfare against people who have rightly called him out on his deceptive practices, practices paid for with tax dollars and subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Being a Penn State graduate, I am embarrassed because PSU has been unwilling or unable to address these issues with Michael Mann. He should NOT be there to disparage and further damage the image of Penn State.

NASA has a role in this in its continuing financial support to the university. Where is the adult supervision?

If the facts are that well established then any other scientist should be able to replicate his work.

I’m not so sure this is accurate reporting. Mann, of course, is a fraud. And he’s trying to harass his critics and shut them up by abusing the legal system.

But I read the PSI article and comments and I’m not sure the report is what is going to happen as deigned by the court, or what ought to happen.

I’d like to know the reality of the situation.

As far as this author, this final comment,

“I suppose his still being at Penn State is no surprise; this is the university that gave us Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno, after all.”

Is gratuitous and meaningless.
