A couple of years ago now, I pointed out that Professor Michael “hockey stick” Mann was gonna be in big trouble. Through the Canadian court system, he had sued a real scientist, Dr Tim Ball, for libel because Ball had publicly claimed that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State”. In particular, Ball dismissed Mann’s celebrated “hockey stick” as a deliberate falsification of the global temperature facts.
The hockey stick, in case there is a reader unaware, is the graph of precipitous global warming over recent decades, which is the chassis upon which almost all of the global warming hoax wagon has been built. Mann’s iconic hockey stick has been relied upon by the U.N’s I.P.C.C. and Western governments as crucial evidence for the claim of man-made global warming.
But Mann refused the court’s order to release the data from which he drew the graph.
As I promised, the Canadian Supreme Court has just recently, after Mann had exhausted all attempts to escape the order, ruled in favour of Dr Ball, not only dismissing Mann’s libel suit but also ordering full costs against Mann. One can expect that the legal fees and court costs for this case, which has been ongoing for years, will amount to millions of Canadian dollars. Mann has not only been publicly disgraced as a fraudulent scientist but, presumably, will also be bankrupted.
Mind you, these global warming alarmist “scientists” receive plenty of money, and that’s why they’re in it.
Mann also initiated libel suits against others who publicly exposed him. It can only be assumed that he will now abandon those suits, making substantial payments to the defendants. Mann’s career and life are in tatters.
And the global warming hoax is now also in tatters. Although with Mann refusing to reveal his data, there has not been an actual exposure of the hockey stick’s deception, there is no conclusion to be drawn other than that the data is either non-existent or is unable to stand scrutiny.
But ‘Comrade’ Jacinda and her band will no doubt carry on regardless, destroying our economy and our lifestyles, because this will be swept under the carpet. Have you seen anything on the tv news? Have you read anything in the (mainstream) newspapers? No. They didn’t want to write about it a couple of years ago, and they’re not writing about it now.
Best that you all spread this around as widely as you can, and alert your politicians that you’re awake to them.
