Supreme Court refuses to hear case involving climate scientist's lawsuit
The Hill ^ | 11 25 2019 | John Kruzel

Posted on 11/25/2019 11:57:55 AM PST by yesthatjallen

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up an appeal involving a prominent climate scientist who sued an iconic conservative magazine and libertarian think tank for defamation.

In a closely watched request to the Supreme Court, the National Review and Competitive Enterprise Institute asked the justices to intervene in a suit brought against them by scientist Michael Mann. The case, which pits climate scientists against the free speech rights of global warming skeptics, drew interest from lawmakers, interest groups, academics and media.

Mann, the plaintiff, is best known among climate scientists for his “hockey stick” graph, which showed a sharp uptick in the earth’s temperatures over the 20th century as carbon emissions from human activity were on the rise.

He later came under fire from skeptics after leaked emails with colleagues fueled accusations of misconduct, in a controversy dubbed “Climategate.” But Mann was ultimately cleared by multiple investigations, including a 2010 review by his employer, Penn State University.

Sad day when Canada dispenses justice while the USA refuses to.

Cleared???? He manipulated the data to support his erroneous conclusions. How could he be “cleared”?

When liberals investigate liberals, they always exonerate the liberals they are investigating, how dare you question that? The science is settled- the corrupt hockey stick graph was not corrupt- /s

That is a pile of leftist bull droppings right there

The people cleared him are the people who profit from his work..... Penn State makes a fortune in grants for studying “climate change”

So why would they slaughter the golden goose who lays those federal golden eggs?

OBAMA: Not even mass corruption. Not even a smidgeon of corruption.

what obama said when the he ordered the IRS to target republicans and the liberal investigation found ‘no wrongdoing’

Oh Yeah, and Epstein didn’t kill himself-

Exactly, and they soughs have recused themselves from the investigation for just that reason- The left would NEVEr stand for someone like oil companies investigating corruption in their organization and then declaring there was no corruption IF there actually was- or an organization investigating allegations of abuse and coming out and saying ‘nope- there wasn’t any’ when the evidence is overwhelmingly clear-

Indeed. Analogous to some Church officials ‘clearing’ their pedophile priests.
