Mann has a similar lawsuit against Prof Bell of Canada, and Mann is not producing documents. It sounds like it is going badly for Mann. He may have to withdraw and have to pay all legal costs.
It should get interesting.
His Tree-Ring Circus was goofy and I am surprised that his flimsy work is supposedly the pillar of the global warming claim. That is frightening! He cherry picked a few tree rings in Siberia and then manipulated the data to create the hockey stick. He also denies the Middle Age Warming Period, except that is has been proven yet again in a new study by Syracuse University. Mann is more a PR guy than anything else.
Mann is a liar and a fraud. He is behind the “hockey stick” global warming theory that has been shown to be fraudulent by both other researchers and the leaked emails from global warmers.
I would love to see him lose every penny he has and be disgraced.
