Junk Scientist Sues Critics Over Global Warming Climate Change Scam
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 7:29 PM
Dr. Michael Mann co-authored the famous graph of temperature trends dubbed the “hockey stick graph.” In 2009 he was was implicated in the global warming email and document conspiracy.

Mann’s controversial work has been challenged in the past.
Today Michael Mann sued National Review and Competitive Enterprise Institute over his work on the global warming climate change hoax.
Mann posted this on his Facebook page.
Lawsuit filed against The National Review and the Competitive Enterprise Institute 10/22/12
Today, the case of Dr. Michael E. Mann vs. The National Review and The Competitive Enterprise Institute was filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Dr. Mann, a Professor and Director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, has instituted this lawsuit against the two organizations, along with two of their authors, based upon their false and defamatory statements accusing him of academic fraud and comparing him to a convicted child molester, Jerry Sandusky. Dr. Mann is being represented by John B. Williams of the law firm of Cozen O’Connor in Washington, D.C. (http://www.cozen.com/attorney_detail.asp?d=1&atid=1406).
Dr. Mann is a climate scientist whose research has focused on global warming. In 2007, along with Vice President Al Gore and his colleagues of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for having “created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming.”
Nevertheless, the defendants assert that global warming is a “hoax,” and have accused Dr. Mann of improperly manipulating the data to reach his conclusions.
In response to these types of accusations, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation and seven other organizations have conducted investigations into Dr. Mann’s work, finding any and all allegations of academic fraud to be baseless. Every investigation—and every replication of Mann’s work—has concluded that his research and conclusions were properly conducted and fairly presented.
Despite their knowledge of the results of these many investigations, the defendants have nevertheless accused Dr. Mann of academic fraud and have maliciously attacked his personal reputation with the knowingly false comparison to a child molester. The conduct of the defendants is outrageous, and Dr. Mann will be seeking judgment for both compensatory and punitive damages.

Mann may regret this suit when discovery begins.

I love the smell of discovery in the morning… smells like victory!

Mike “Piltown” Mann will come to regret this decisions…

DR. MICHAEL MANN IS MOLESTING THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS, COMPARATIVELY, A CHILD BY COSMOLOGICAL STANDARDS.
Gloria Gilson commented:
Ya can’t prevent someone from suing you. All you can do is fight the suit, ideally by getting it dismissed in the early stages. Here, public figures and defamation seem like a good start. Then if successful, you bring an action in tort for malicious prosecution and abuse of process.
Jim Scrummy commented:
I can’t wait for discovery…plenty of popcorn. Should be fun.

Prob should not have brought up Sandusky. But he has some lib lawyer group looking fort a settlement and like a lot of the enviro lawsuits, we, the taxpayers pay for the legal fees.
So after a year it all shakes out. too bad.
Check Mark levin’s site. His Landmark Legal Foundation filed a suit against EPA for FOIA files. He has it all posted on his site. It is very interesting.

So is “Dr.” Mann going to have to finally release the algorithms that helped create the hockey stick graph?

Here is my post about an Italian judge convicting well known scientists for not being able to predict an earthquake!!
What we need is to get that judge and Mann together for the fraud Mann perpetrated on us to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars and abusive government regulations.

The judge would probably bury him under the jail.

A scumbag representing another scumbag. Sad
Big Al commented:
Yeah, yeah! The entire global warming scam is redistributionist lefty policy NOT science. When are the people going to wake up to this crap.
welldoneson commented:
Mann is absolutely full of it, as are the Nobel “Peace” prize clowns.
The programmer who wrote the code that produces the “hockey stick” graph commented that he doesn’t generally include data in the code itself; the code produces the same fictional graph regardless what data is input. Penn State needs to buck up big time when they lose this one.
