The Bell Tolls for Michael Mann
Timothy Birdnow
Michael Mann, Svengarlic of Climate Change, is in contempt of court in his lawsuit against Dr. Timothy Ball.
State Penn, er, Penn State Alarmist, the father of the Hockey Stick graph, Michael Mann sued Dr. Ball for libel for saying he swindled the taxpayers with made up reserch. But in open court Mann refused to hand over his data for examination, triggering a contempt citation.
From the article in Principia:
"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. Mann’s 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 Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a "hoax.â€
As can be seen from the graphs below; Mann’s 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, Ball’s 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 graph’s data. Mann’s iconic hockey stick has been relied upon by the UN’s IPCC and western governments as crucial evidence for the science of ‘man-made global warming"
End excerpt.
Mann sued Ball for saying he should "be in the State Penn rather than Penn State" because he took public funds and lied about the data.
Doctor Ball explains what happened:
"Michael Mann moved for an adjournment of the trial scheduled for February 20, 2017. We had little choice because Canadian courts always grant adjournments before a trial in their belief that an out of court settlement is preferable. We agreed to an adjournment with conditions. The major one was that he [Mann] produce all documents including computer codes by February 20th, 2017. He failed to meet the deadline.â€
End excrpt.
Under Canadian law Ball's statement will be considered a statement of fact since Mann refused to provide evidence to the contrary.
On deck in another Mann lawsuit is Mark STeyn, who will likely win his case now that Mann has been effectively declared a fraud by this Canadian court.
