rushmc 23 #1 August 15, 2014 I have for a awhile, but now it is starting to get interesting QuoteMann v Steyn: If This Trial Ever Goes Ahead Global Warming Is Toast http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/08/15/Mann-v-Steyn-if-this-trial-ever-goes-ahead-global-warming-is-toast http://www.thegwpf.org/images/stories/gwpf-reports/Climategate-Inquiries.pdf"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

rushmc 23 #2 August 15, 2014 More background regarding the case written by another QuoteObviously a libel trial is not something any sane person would wish to court; and naturally I’m a massive fan of Steyn’s. Nevertheless, after all the work I’ve dedicated over the years to goading Mann, I found it a bit bloody annoying that Steyn — a relative latecomer to the climate change debate — should have been the one who ended up stealing all my courtroom glory. What made me doubly jealous was that this was a case Steyn was guaranteed to win. In the unlikely event it came to court — which I didn’t think it would, given Mann’s longstanding aversion to any form of public disclosure regarding his academic research — the case would fall down on the fact that defamation is so hard to prove in the US, especially when it involves publicly funded semi-celebrities who are expected to take this sort of thing on the chin. http://www.spectator.co.uk/columnists/james-delingpole/9136061/the-martyrdom-of-mark-steyn/"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

RMK 3 #3 August 15, 2014 QuoteAnyone Else Been Following This? Yawn. No. You are aware that media or courtroom bickering doesn’t have any actual affect on scientific data? Also, doesn’t matter how many people think either side is right/wrong. Same concept applies to news sources; if more people watch Network A News instead of Network B News, it doesn’t infer nor prove that Network A News is more factual."Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it doesn'tseem that you did so let me help you out. Styne is only defending himself. Mann has the plan. His plan is to use the courts and big money backers to try and silence debate. but if you want to support a known liar and data manipulator that's your choice. In the end, this case will never make it to court. Manns reputation can't afford it. what little he has left anyway"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
