Mann should be halfway through his prison sentence by now for fraud.

Thank you for the information.

I can’t believe there is anything left on that Mann thing.

I also did not realize he had so many stents. Not good.

Goal of the abusive lawsuit which started in 2014 is to bankrupt Mark Steyn

How long has this case been going on now? Ten years? It has cost Steyn hundred of thousands of dollars and yet from what I understand Mann continues to refuse to produce the evidence supporting his “climate change” study conclusions.

WIKI

In July 2012, Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) blogger Rand Simberg accused American climatologist Michael E. Mann of “deception” and “engaging in data manipulation” and alleged that the Penn State investigation that had cleared Mann was a “cover-up and whitewash” comparable to the recent Jerry Sandusky sex scandal, “except that instead of molesting children, he has molested and tortured data.” The CEI blog editor then removed the sentence as “inappropriate”, but a National Review blog post by Steyn cited it and alleged that Mann’s hockey stick graph was “fraudulent”.

Mann asked CEI and National Review to remove the allegations and apologize, or he would take action. The CEI published further insults, and National Review Editor Rich Lowry responded in an article headed “Get Lost” with a declaration that, should Mann sue, the discovery process would be used to reveal and publish Mann’s emails. Mann’s lawyer filed the defamation lawsuit in October 2012.

Before the case could go to discovery, CEI and National Review filed a court motion to dismiss it under anti-SLAPP legislation, with the claim that they had merely been using exaggerated language which was acceptable against a public figure. In July 2013, the judge ruled against this motion, and when the defendants took this to appeal a new judge also denied their motion to dismiss, in January 2014. National Review changed its lawyers, and Steyn decided to represent himself in court. Journalist Seth Shulman, at the Union of Concerned Scientists, welcomed the judge’s statement that accusations of fraud “go to the heart of scientific integrity. They can be proven true or false. If false, they are defamatory. If made with actual malice, they are actionable.”

I thought he was a US citizen residing in Vermont. How can the Canadians have him in court?

No, he is being sued because he effectively uses sarcasm and humor to discredit leftist bull chit.

I hope he finally got legal representation. At the beginning of this lawsuit I believe he was representing himself. I’ve done that and it is stressful even if you are successful.

Mann has dragged this thing out for years, so I’m glad Mark is getting his day in court, but Lord knows we can’t afford to lose one of the best and funniest writers in the world.
