Michael Mann Must Pay Costs After Refusing To Release Data — Michael Mann, the Penn State prof who probably more than anyone gave global warming its science cred, has been ordered by a Canadian court to pay all court costs to Dr. Tim Ball, after he refused to surrender his data for court examination.
Ball is an expert on historical climatology.
Mann was trying to use a lawsuit to quiet Ball — as he has with other critics — and had it backfire spectacularly. It is even being speculated that Mann even face criminal charges for using using public funds to commit climate data fraud.
Mann is the creator of the “hockey stick” graph that showed temperatures stable for centuries then rising dramatically about 1910.
Ball pointed out that the best data shows that the temperature was far from stable and was actually far higher in the Middle Ages when there was less people and no industrialization.
Many are global warming skeptics because the proponents’ behavior is anything but scientific. Rather than debate dissenters openly, they smeared them behind the scenes or in media campaigns. When they failed, they used the courts, an avenue that now seems to be closed.
And, of course, their hypocritical private lives did not come close to following their public claims.
Nobody likes pollution. Ever wonder why global warming advocates don’t push for win-win non-controversial ways of cutting CO2 emissions, like telecommuting or planting trees as Ethiopia recently did?
We suspect that it’s because these solutions would not increase their wealth or power.
Yeah, we can safely say the “climate change” movement is a scam.
“Ever wonder why global warming advocates don’t push for win-win non-controversial ways of cutting CO2 emissions, like telecommuting or planting trees as Ethiopia recently did?”
Or why they don’t push for what is probably the easiest, cheapest, most efficient, and most immediate method of generating clean power on a scale modern society needs, and is available right now-nuclear energy?
It’s not about “saving the planet”, it’s about using the power of the State to make us change our lives in dramatic, radical, and detrimental ways, just because they say so.
Not to mention the most obvious and damning fact of all, is that globalism itself is the greatest culprit of “global warming”, or excess CO2 emissions, and pollution. We have a world economy where EVERYTHING EVERYONE BUYS is shipped halfway across the planet from manufacturers in Asia to consumers in the west. That is maximized inefficiency and not only causes the most amount of greenhouse gasses possible with the massive amount of shipping, but gives people inferior products, and food that has to be refrigerated and picked green, so it will last the long voyage. This is 100% the fault of the International Bankers and globalists who have fostered these economies with these kinds of planned inter-dependencies. It is obviously much more efficient to manufacture the products and grow the food WHERE THEY WILL BE USED, but thanks to artificially draconian laws and regulations, people in the west have been discouraged from doing that. All planned and executed by GLOBALISTS. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST POLLUTERS and should be paying ALL OF US A BIG FAT CARBON TAX!
