That's quite the J'accuse. Dr. Ball, being a Canadian like myself, might wind up facing a lawsuit for defamation because he used the words "deliberate fraud." The bar for successfully claiming defamation is set much lower in Canadian law than in American law. I can say that he's run a real risk to get his message out. [If you don't believe me, ask about Richard Warman at the Free Dominion.]

As I said on another thread, demonstrating legal fraud would require a private E-mail that: a) admits that the data for a paper was salted, and b) says the data-salting was necessary to secure further funding. Both establish that money was appropriated on false pretenses. Data-massaging that isn't used to secure further funding may be breach of the contract with the grantor.

Do your courts allow discovery? If these frauds try to being a suit against him he can request all of their documents involving global warming. And really blow the lid off of this thing.
