Professor Tim Ball, who was sued by Michael Mann for defamation regarding comments he made about the integrity of the Hockey Stick Graph, had succeeded in having the case thrown out and Mann ordered to pay costs. Mann had failed to comply with a court order that he produce his Hockey Stick Data! His current action against action against journalist Mark Steyn, for damages, who also called the infamous hockey stick graph as fraudulent, looks like going in the same direction. The case has enormous ramifications since it can be argued that the hockey stick removed the concept of natural climate variability for an entire generation. It was fraudulent, claims Steyn, both in its construction and in the uses to which it has been put by Al Gore, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, every school and most governments throughout the world.

According to the director of Nobel Institute Michael Mann was never awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, despite Mann’s public claims that he was. In court papers filed in connection with a defamation suit, Mann claims he was “awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.” Global warming alarmists who assist the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its various reports frequently describe themselves as Nobel Prize winners.

Michael Mann who has recently appeared on the ABC Four Corners Program just prior to the upcoming May 2022 Federal election, was asked by US Congress, back in 2017, if he was connected to a group called the Climate Accountability Institute (CAI) who had written to the president asking that deniers be prosecuted by using the RICO statute. For those who are not familiar with Corrupt Organization Act – RICO – 1970, it was used to rein in the American Mafia. Environmental activists thought they had found a new weapon to use in their battle with global warming realists: the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a law enacted by Congress in 1970 to battle the mafia. Environmentalists had hoped to use RICO to criminalize any exercise of free speech that was critical of their extreme views on climate change. Michael Mann denied he was affiliated with the Climate Accountability Institute but according to their website he was a director! Link to video link: https://youtu.be/S3f42t4C7XU

The problem for the Climate Scientists, the  IPCC and the supporters of AGW, was that  they they had to prove that the current phase of warming was unnatural, unique and unprecedented. If a similar or greater warming period had occurred in the past such as during the Medieval Warming Period (MWP), then clearly any such recent warming must have been natural and not the result of human activities.

Proponents of the IPCC hypothesis that human CO2 is causing global warming were mainly connected with the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia. Leaked CRU emails, beginning with 1000 in late 2009, exposed the corruption of climate science of the IPCC. CRU people controlled critical portions of IPCC Working Group I.They set up procedures to control the peer-review process, control data, and attack any who challenged, especially if it was with contradicto evidence. This was necessary because they deliberately thwarted the scientific method by presenting an hypothesis and blocking normal and essential skepticism. They determined to prove rather than disprove the hypothesis. As Richard Lindzen correctly observed decades ago, the consensus was reached before the research had even begun. Evidence emerged, despite their efforts, so they created pseudo scientific vehicles to counterattack.
