Climate change expert data exposed as fraudulent in court!
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada (PNN) - July 4, 2017 - Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann commits contempt of court in the climate science trial of the century. Prominent alarmist shockingly defies judge and refuses to surrender data for open court examination. Only possible outcome: Mann’s humiliation, defeat, and likely criminal investigation in the FPSA.
The defendant in the libel trial, the 79-year-old Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball, 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 Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a hoax.
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. But Ball, 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.
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 in 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 data have been relied upon by the United Nation’s IPCC and western governments as crucial evidence for the science of man-made global warming.
The defendant in the case, Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball, had won concessions against Mann, but at the time the details were kept confidential, pending Mann’s response.
The negative and unresponsive actions of Dr. Mann and his lawyer, Roger McConchie, are expected to infuriate the judge and be the signal for the collapse of Mann’s multi-million dollar libel suit against Dr. Ball. It will be music to the ears of climate deniers like President Donald Trump and his EPA Chief, Scott Pruitt.
As Dr Ball explains, “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 20, 2017. He failed to meet the deadline.”
Mann’s contempt of court means Ball is entitled to have the court serve upon Mann the fullest punishment. Contempt sanctions could reasonably include the judge ruling that Dr. Ball’s statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn. State” is a precise and true statement of fact. This is because under Canada’s unique “Truth Defense”, Mann is now proven to have willfully hidden his data, so the court may rule he hid it because it is fake. As such, the court must then dismiss Mann’s entire libel suit with costs awarded to Ball and his team.
