Penn State climate scientist, Michael hockey stick Mann commits contempt of court in the climate science trial of the century. Prominent alarmist shockingly defies judge and refuses to surrender data for open court examination. Only possible outcome: Manns humiliation, defeat and likely criminal investigation in the U.S.
The defendant in the libel trial, the 79-year-old Canadian climatologist, Dr Tim Ball (above, right) 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. Manns 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 Trumps claims that climate scare stories are a hoax.
As can be seen from the graphs below; Manns cherry-picked version of science makes the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) disappear and shows a pronounced upward tick in the late 20th century (the blade of his hockey stick). But below that, Balls graph, using more reliable and widely available public data, shows a much warmer MWP, with temperatures hotter than today, and showing current temperatures well within natural variation.
Michael Mann, who chose to file what many consider to be a cynical SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) libel suit in the British Columbia Supreme Court, Vancouver six long years ago, has astonished legal experts by refusing to comply with the court direction to hand over all his disputed graphs data. Manns iconic hockey stick has been relied upon by the UNs IPCC and western governments as crucial evidence for the science of man-made global warming. As first reported in Principia Scientific International (February 1, 2017), the defendant in the case, Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball, had won concessions against Mann, but at the time the details were kept confidential, pending Manns response.
The negative and unresponsive actions of Dr Mann and his lawyer, Roger McConchie, are expected to infuriate the judge and be the signal for the collapse of Manns multi-million dollar libel suit against Dr Ball. It will be music to the ears of so-called climate deniers like President Donald Trump and his EPA Chief, Scott Pruitt.
From a libel suit he himself filed.
Put him in Reading Gaol.
- All peer reviewed journals should retract all of Mann's work that does not have all data sets included in the publication detailed enough to replicate the work.
- All peer reviewed work based upon and citing Mann's work should be replicated by other scientists. Any study that cannot be replicated should be retracted.
- Scott Pruitt at the EPA should retract all rules and regulations based upon Mann's work until the work is replicated by studies with publicly available data. He also needs to enforce a general rule that the EPA will only use studies which provide all data sets for replication, and that have been replicated. Finally, the EPA should claw back all grant money issued to Mann and Penn state.
- The IPCC should amend its current report to remove all references to Mann's non-replicated work.
This is the way to fix climate science, and get it back on track away from politics.
Mann had to know that the data business would come up sooner or later. I would suspect that he had a fraudulent data package set up for the case and his experts warned that a fake package would be identified and destroy the case.
I sure hope you are correct, but there is SO much money, so much establishment policy riding on this hoax, that the PTB are likely to do *anything* to put a stop to truth.
Facts are such stubborn things, eh?
I can hear Howard Cosell right now - “Down Goes Gore, Down Goes Gore, Down Goes Gore!”
Mann dont have the fradulent data. They admitted that in the climate gate emails. The data dont matter. As was shown, it was Mann’s algorithm that would produce a hockey stick with even random data. Of course he also manipulated the data to get a better hockey stick shape. He was hoping Hillary would be President and the whole affair would be swept up under the Paris Accords.
‘It is unwise to play hockey against a Canadian. :)”
Nice.
Why did they stop the leper hockey game?
What was the US ruling? Thank you
Is Happy like Gay or is it like queer?
Well he said it’s not fake, what more do you want?
Fake science gets busted again.
I bet he’s calling Hillary for the number of her BleachBit rep as we speak.
There was a face off in the corner
I looked it up. The internet is everywhere.
I haven’t seen this on any other news outlet, I would think this would be big news if true.
I’m holding down my expectations until there’s confirmation.
It would be wonderful if true.
One should never be too eager to believe one’s own side’s propaganda. This one left me thinking there was a lot of spin going on.
“I havent seen this on any other news outlet,”
Like I said, the source is oddball.
SLAPP... stick...
