Mann's $9M Jury Lie

Fake Nobel Winner found "responsible" in $9M lie to DC jury.

BREAKING: The Superior Court in DC just NUKED disgraced climate scientist Michael Mann AGAIN.

Last year, Mann was sanctioned for "knowingly feeding the jury false data" in a manner of misconduct that was "extraordinary in its scope, extent, and intent."

Today, the court doubled... pic.twitter.com/fQff5YsM7V — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 22, 2026

Here are some highlights from today's decision (my emphasis in bold):

The Court has considered Dr. Mann's request for reconsideration. For the reasons Mr. Simberg and Mr. Steyn articulated orally during in-court arguments and presented in their pleadings, and as reasoned in the Court's March 12, 2025 Order, the Court will deny the request....

The fact remains that Dr. Mann throughout this litigation complained that he suffered lost grant funding directly stemming from the defamatory statements of Messrs. Simberg and Steyn, while providing very little in the way of specifics about the dollar amounts of his losses directly attributable to the statements (such as corroborating testimony from percipient witnesses), all while promising to illuminate the Court at trial. At trial, Dr. Mann elected through his attorneys to present to the jury a blown-up demonstrative, without redaction or explanation, a demonstrative intentionally prepared for its use at trial, which included a budget (loss) amount of $9,713,924.00, when the correct amount, previously corrected during a third round of discovery, was $112,000.

Dr. Mann and his attorneys explain that there was no harm in publishing the demonstrative to the jury because Defendants and the Court knew well that the $9.7 million was later corrected during discovery, while ignoring the fact that the trial's factfinders, the jury, were never made privy to the discovery corrections through Dr. Mann's in-court testimony...

If he would lie to a judge and jury while under oath, is there any doubt that he would lie to the readers of his “research” and tortured “data”?

The whole global warming scam started by bureaucrats getting larger budgets for promoting the global warming scam.

This is very good news, except that apparently other appeals are ongoing. Mark Steyn has been put through the wringer by this charlatan—over nothing but a disgusting money grab by Mann.

UPenn should fire him. Should have already done.

There should’ve been a judgement that this case was a fraud from the beginning, with full restitution to Mark & others of what they spent defending themselves. Mann’s lawyers have already threatened to go after Steyn’s estate, should he die. These people are plain, flat evil & should be punished.

>>The court also ordered Mann to pay $28k to the defendants (Mark and Rand Simberg) as part of its sanction.

He tried to extort $9.7 million through perjury, he should have to pay his victims (Steyn and Simberg) $9.7 million.

Maybe, Dr. Mann should be liable for Trillions of dollars wasted to address the Global Warming hoax, he started by his fraudulent research.

Our legal system’s main goal is not justice; but to enrich lawyers.

Whenever a person uses a “hockey stick” forecast, it’s ALWAYS bullshit. No exceptions.
