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 into taking down a post reporting on Tim Ball’s courtroom triumph.
Ball’s allegedly libelous statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State” was, in effect, vindicated by the judge’s Dismissal of Mann’s multi-million-dollar claim. The author of the latest article suffering Mann’s ire is Pastor Jonathan Lange,
Anyone who reads Lange’s piece ‘Is man-made global warming Mann-made?’ can see for themselves that it fairly mirrors my article, which broke the news of Tim’s win. No such empty legal threats from cowardly Mann to me.
Lange immediately contacted Principia Scientific International (PSI), the science body that backed Dr Ball throughout the Mann-v-Ball case, when he got Mann’s threatening ‘take down’ notice.
Lange wrote:
“I have recently published an article concerning the end of Dr. Mann’s lawsuit against
Dr. Tim Ball. https://onlyhuman-jl.blogspot.com/2019/09/is-man-made-global-warming-mann-made.html
This morning, I published a shorter version of the same material in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle in Cheyenne, WY. Within 4 hours, the newspaper received an email from Dr. Mann accusing me of libel and defamation. The newspaper has removed the article from the website. “
For reporting the facts, Pastor Lange of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, had the following email drop in his inbox from the irate Professor Mann:
“The Claims Made In The Piece That Our Data Are Not Available Or That We Did Not Provide Materials Requested By The Court Are Provably False. And They Are Libelous.
It is easily verified that the data and computer code behind our analysiis [sic] and has been available for more than 15 years.” [Michael Mann Sept 06. 2019]
The data that Mann released before suing Ball 15 years ago is neither the subject of the lawsuit or of Lange’s article. It is, rather, about whether he has produced enough additional evidence to satisfy the judge. Mann’s statement blatantly contradicts why he ultimately lost his lawsuit versus Tim Ball!
Learning of Mann’s threat of a lawsuit against Pastor Lange, Dr Ball wrote to PSI to clarify the following:
“The court threw out Mann’s case because he failed to provide any evidence to support his claims. The specific data he claims he presented was not presented. The court also agreed with us that Mann had had from 2011 to make his case and failed to do so. In fact, we had a trial date scheduled for February 20, 2017 but Mann postponed the trial and we heard nothing from him since.”
So, Mann’s weasel words are designed to deceive. Yes, Michael Mann released plenty of data but NOT the most essential numbers (his math ‘working out’) that would prove he had criminal intention to defraud when creating his infamous graph.
Quite simply the facts in the matter are as follows:
Mann has NEVER make his r2 regression numbers available for open review;
Mann is a proven liar and fraud who hides his numbers out of fear of criminal prosecution;
Dr Mann lost his case versus Dr Ball because he showed ‘bad faith’ in breaching the binding “concessions” agreement that required him to release the above “computer codes, which are my intellectual property…”
Michael Mann: Scienter Not Scientist
Mann’s duplicity just gets worse. His statement(s) are fraudulent misrepresentations. The delinquent Penn State professor cannot have it both ways – if he withholds key data for his graph because it is his “intellectual property” how can he also claim it is all in the public domain?
He should no longer be considered a scientist but a ‘scienter‘ – someone who intentionally deceives others for personal benefit.
Indeed, some legal experts may argue his baseless threats to sue now place him in legal jeopardy for wilful intent to deceive.

PUBLIC SERVICE ‘FREE SPEECH’ APPEAL
If anyone else receives a similar asinine demand from the flaky ‘professor,’ please do submit them to PSI and they will be added to the file of material we are compiling to submit to federal authorities in support of a RICO prosecution.
