If you have a serious interest in global warming fraud read the full article.

This is also a make or break libel and defamation ruling.

[metmom]

It’s ludicrous that the SCOTUS would even consider tasking a case like that.

Democrats and liberals simply put, want to force everyone to comply with their ideas of how life should be and they are willing to use the force of law (IOW, the government) and threats of jail time and fines to accomplish it.

They want to make everything they disagree with illegal.

Little tyrants, all.

National Review gets grief, some of it justified, from around here. But in this they are on the side of the angels.

Mr. Mann is suing NR for publishing what was clearly marked as opinion. They did not make a traditionally libelous claim of fact, they merely stated that, in their opinion, they thought Mann was cooking the books. Mann and the “climate change” crowd want the right to shut up their opponents.

[Openurmind]

Mann is still in action? They just won’t go away will they?

This douche just had a libel case dismissed in Canada because he failed to produce his raw data from his debunked Hockey stick graph. Seems I remember he had to pick up a sizeable tab of the court costs. I guess he is back, hopefully for another beat down.

There is no consensus. That is a lie.

I think fake-hockey-stick Mann ultimately lost his cases in Canada did he not? Was he not going after Mark Stein and others?

Mann in the slow motion process of losing a defamation lawsuit against Mark Steyn. Mann is a persistent troublesome idiot.

A couple of worthwhile items on the subject.

Didn't Mann get shot out of the saddle, last week, for a libel suit in Canada, because he refused to release the raw data?

The article is heavily biased. Take, for instance, the statement: "Scientists hail Mann’s lawsuit as a necessary defense against efforts to erode public confidence in the scientific consensus that climate change is an urgent threat". For starters, "scientific consensus" is anathema to true scientists. There is no such thing as consensus in real science. In more than one instance over the centuries, science has been turned on its ear because a single scientist conducting a documented, repeatable experiment which proved the so-called "consensus" was wrong. There is no such thing as consensus in the true Scientific Method.

The article additionally completely ignored that Mann recently lost a similar case in Canada. Mann was not only declared wrong, he was ordered to pay the legal expenses of the winner. Either the author was too biased to include this, or he was so ignorant of the facts that he didn't even know it. Neither alternative suggests anything but fake news.

The Michael Mann that did the "fake Hockey Stick" graph?

He should lay low and let it be, not going to end well for him.

Oh, and this is a great little video on data presentation manipulation.

If it were truly science the facts would speak for themselves. You wouldn’t need “confidence” in the results. However, if you’re running a scam then you need to dupe the target(s) and their confidence in you is a big part of that. To me the entire lawsuit is a tacit admission the whole global warming thing is a scam.

[rlmorel]

"...in a case that pits climate scientists against the free speech rights of global warming skeptics..."

In cases of libel, there was once a time when the truth was an absolute defense...then the Left decided to make the truth whatever they wanted it to be, and in the court, that trumps real truth.

[Prolixus]

“Scientists” should be in quotes.

Science is a process.
1. hypothesis
2. evidence
3. theory
4. publish in peer reviewed journal
5. take a beating from your peers and eventually have someone find your theory is flawed.

“Scientists” are leftist ideologues in lab coats.

Michael Mann should shove that hockey stick up his ozone hole.

Where is the hockey chart continuation of that trajectory since 2000? 20 years now (10 percent more data).

re: “Supreme Court weighs lawsuit pitting climate scientist against skeptics”

Most of these so-called climate scientist are just STATISTICIANS who haven’t the slightest idea how atmospheric thermodynamics work, making them little more than climate phrenologists* ...
