Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann Doubling Down After Court Defeat

Principia Scientific Published on September 16, 2019 Written by John O’Sullivan Exactly as we expected, Dr Michael Mann, after his sensational court defeat to Dr Tim Ball in the ‘science trial of the century,‘ doubles down on more shenanigans over his infamous graph. The fundamental principle of jurisprudence is “Put up or shut up!” Mann failed to “put up” and to make matters worse, he fails to “shut up.” In the early hours of this morning mendacious Mann foolishly took to Twitter to try to rally his befuddled and shrinking army of Twitter troops with this latest whopper: Do …

Most Americans say climate change should be addressed now – CBS News poll

CBS September 15, 2019 By Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto A majority of Americans think action needs to be taken right now to address climate change. Most consider it at least to be a serious problem — including more than a quarter who say it is a crisis.

Opinions on the subject are marked by partisan divisions. Most – 67% – think humans …

WND By Pat Boone | September 13, 2019 Reader, will you let me take you on a “Back to the Future” trip, layman to layman? On one of the hottest issues of the day? It should let you sleep better at night. What if I can relieve you of ever again worrying about mankind causing “global warming”? My thesis is that only God can do that, governing the sun itself – from which all of the world’s energy comes. So hang on. Almost 100 years ago the Scopes Monkey Trial in Dayton, Tennessee, went into legend as the “trial of …

Why a high-profile climate science opponent quit Trump’s White House

sciencemag.org Scott Waldman, E&E News | Sep. 12, 2019 , 11:05 AM Originally published by E&E News When William Happer realized this summer that his plan to question climate science had been shut down by the White House, he knew he’d stick to his promise: to serve exactly one year in President Donald Trump’s administration and then leave. Happer’s original idea to review climate research involved a team of scientists who would critique government science reports and play up the areas of uncertainty. It would be centered on attacking the National Climate Assessment and potentially be used to mount a …

Michael Mann Retracts False Nobel Prize Claims in Humiliating Climbdown

John OSullivan October 28, 2012 Disgraced Penn State University (PSU) climatologist, Michael Mann, concedes defeat in his bogus claims to be a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Mann’s employer this weekend began the shameful task of divesting itself of all inflated claims on university websites and official documentation that Mann was ever a Peace Prize recipient with Al Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Thanks to a tip off from respected climate researcher, Dr. Klaus Kaiser, myself and Tom Richard (who scooped the original Nobel story) obtained “before and after” copy images from PSU websites as records of this damning retraction. …

Why Did Michael Mann Lose his Global Warming Lawsuit?

Principia Scientific Published on September 11, 2019 Written by John OSullivan Apologists for discredited ‘climate scientist’ Michael E Mann have been trying to spin his defeat in the ‘science trial of the century’ versus skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball. Among the worst examples includes this weak effort ‘Tim Ball Pleads For Mercy As An Irrelevant Sick Old Man, Gets It, Declares Victory’ which serves only to fool the usual low-information class. Mann’s case was dismissed because he didn’t comply with the rules of discovery – he failed to release the hidden r2 regression numbers demanded by Tim. Failure to comply …

Breaking: Now Michael Mann Threatens Pastor with Lawsuit!

Principia Scientific Published on September 8, 2019 Written by John O’Sullivan Litigious climate fraudster, Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann threatens ANOTHER lawsuit after newspaper correctly reports he lost the ‘science trial of the century‘ versus Dr Tim Ball. A mere two weeks ago, Penn State’s dodgy climate professor saw a judge dismiss his 8-year, multi-million-dollar libel suit versus the renowned Canadian skeptic climatologist. But, it appears Mann hasn’t learned his lesson and is making more legal threats to anyone who publishes the truth about his failed escapade. On September 06, 2019, Mann succeeded in pressuring the Wyoming Tribune Eagle in Cheyenne, WY …
