Media Ignores Climate Alarmist’s Court Loss — It Doesn’t Fit The Warmist Agenda

Last week, a Canadian court tossed out a lawsuit in which Michael Mann, the researcher who published the idolized hockey stick temperature chart, had sued another researcher for libel.

Mann has been accused of engaging in "Data manipulation," and "Academic and scientific misconduct."

Some years after the stick was constructed, Canadian statisticians Stephen McIntyre and Ross McKitrick challenged Mann's work.

Climate researcher Tim Ball even went so deep as to say that Mann "Belongs in the state pen, not Penn State," where Mann conducts research.

"Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case."

John O'Sullivan at Principia Scientific International believes the "Extraordinary outcome will likely trigger severe legal repercussions for Dr. Mann in the U.S. and may prove fatal to alarmist climate science claims that modern temperatures are 'unprecedented.'".

Several mainstream outlets sided with the Competitive Enterprise Institute and National Review, which the litigious Mann had sued for defamation.
