In case you missed it, expressing dissent about an issue that has become more and more politicized could warrant a lawsuit - even if it's just satire.
Michael Mann, a Penn State professor and a central figure in the Climategate scandal, but is best known for his "hockey stick graph" doesn't like being criticized. He has threatened to sue the creators of a video that has gone viral on YouTube mocking him. The creators of the video are a group called Minnesotans for Global Warming.
The possibility of a suit was the topic on Fox News April 27 "America Live," hosted by Megyn Kelly. Kelly asked ClimateDepot.com executive editor Marc Morano if Mann would be able to prove that this so-called YouTube spoof wasn't true and therefore win his lawsuit.

It’s called “Discovery”. Mr. Mann might want to look into it before he runs off to Court.
In a just world, this man would be legally tried, legally convicted, and legally executed for his treason upon the world.
It’s an empty threat.
This thread is worthless without a link to the video. ;-)
It’s obvious Mann got his degree from a cereal box.
View quickly — You Tube is pulling them as quickly as they show up. They even pulled the spoof “Hide the Decline II” based on a non-existent copyright complaint from “Jib Jab.”
These guys in MN are hilarious. The videoes on their web site are a riot.
The fraud-liar-cheat-scam-artist Michael Mann will NEVER sue.
Why not?
Because in discovery, his opponent would be able to collect a mountain of evidence proving Michael Mann committed fraud.
What they’ve pinned on him thus far is only the tip of the iceberg. Michael Mann is one of the biggest ClimateGate crooks, and he knows it, and he’s not looking for more sunlight on his crimes.
