“What happened was that Dr. Ball asserted a truth defense. He argued that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud, something that could be proved if one had access to the data and calculations, in particular the R2 regression analysis, underlying it. Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case.”
Manhunter is a classic. First cinematic appearance of Dr. Hannibal Lecktor. Played by Brian Cox, currently of Succession fame. One of the great character actors of our time.
I guess I haven’t paid close enough attention to the climate debate. I’m assuming this decision is really important or your caps lock is broken. I read up on it a bit from another, less biased article. What I couldn’t find was if this guy’s research is the basis for every climate study? I guess I’m looking for a reason why I should care about some guy losing a defamation suit. Are we assuming the docs are not real because he didn’t produce them?

Miami Vice is a significantly underrated movie as well. Seriously. Such a well done dark theme.

That was my thought, maybe this guy is a fraud, I have hard time we are looking at a vaccines cause autism type situation where there was really on 1 study concluding that. I would think climate science would come at man made global warming from a whole host of directions.
Pretty much. People don’t get how science works. One guy can be a crackpot and get outed and suddenly the Earth doesn’t become flat and gravity doesn’t stop working.
