Mann lied. Next up after he's handed the bills of every lawyer involved for the last 6 years will be his criminal trial.

Thanks for letting us know you never travel. If you took every human being on earth and put them all in Texas every family of four would get half an acre to live on.

Like most denialist claims, this is a load of B.S. They'd have less than 1/10 of an acre to live on. Didn't think I'd do the math, did you?

OH wow, so every human being on earth could comfortably live in Texas. You really got me good!

I think I quite succinctly proved that, like the Trumpster, if it weren't for alternative facts, you wouldn't have any at all.

Very convincing!
Makes you wonder why Nobel Prize winner Michael Mann refuses to turn over his data, eh?

 

[BuckToothMoron]

Anybody who would rely on a mere 1000-2000 years of data to declare major planet climate shift is a fool.

I don't care if any temperature rise can be proven. What happens if CO2 and other GHGs keep rising? The trapped energy has to do something. Logic should tell you that temps will rise.

Yea, too bad there are MANY MANY more factors that effect climate and global temperature. Here are a couple of riddles for you-

When was the little ice age, and how many theories can you find on what caused it?

6000 years ago people and animals lived in a rich fertile area we now call the Sahara desert. How many theories can you find on what caused it to turn into a desert?

Your avatar is apt.





Ever consider actually doing a little research?

Hahaha...old rocks is number 147 to make that hilarious joke about my avatar. So original!

As for your research question (and thanks for jumping head first into my trap)- I have read multiple articles and research on both these events. The underlying theme- there are theories yet scientist don't agree on a single or group of unified cause(s) for either climate event.

And that is the point of the question. We know they occurred, we have all the scientific data and research yet scientist can not say conclusively why these things occurred. So why, when we use the same science, should we be so confident in the "fact" of anthropogenic global warming. Sorry sport, to the thinking and rational among us, it doesn't pass the smell test. Are you getting the point Dumb Rocks?

What caused the Little Ice Age? | EarthSky.org
The Little Ice Age is the name for a period of widespread cooling on Earth. Scientists don’t agree on when it started and ended, but it’s generally agreed to have lasted into the 19th century. Its beginning point is less certain. Still, it’s known that northern Europe felt cooling temperatures. Advancing glaciers in mountain valleys destroyed European towns. Paintings from the 1600s depict people ice-skating on the Thames River in London and on canals in the Netherlands, places that were ice-free before and after the Little Ice Age. Places as far away as South America and China might also have cooled. Scientists don’t know exactly what caused the Little Ice Age – but there are theories.

What Changed The Green Sahara Into A Desert? | MessageToEagle.com
Although scientists agree that the Sahara was once a green place, it is still widely debated how the transition occurred.

Due to the lack of paleo-environmental records, scientist must often resort to climate modeling.

In 1999, a group of German scientists used computer simulation to create a model of the Earth’s climate thousands of years ago. They concluded that the climatic transition of the Sahara took place abruptly, within a possible span of about 300 years.

There are however other scientists who disagree with those calculations. New evidence show that the eastern region of the Sahara desert, especially the area near Lake Yoa in Chad, dried up slowly and progressively since the mid-Holocene period.

And just how would you get food and water to them? You are a total idiot, Weatherman.

Never heard of robotics and automation?

This is huge......




Many hundreds of peer-reviewed papers cite Mann’s work, which is now effectively junked. Despite having deep-pocketed backers willing and able to feed his ego as a publicity-seeking mouthpiece against skeptics, Mann’s credibility as a champion of environmentalism is in tatters.

The creator, Michael Mann, sued for libel when his data was questioned. First step in a libel trial - prove what was said was not true. He refused.

So any guesses as to why he refuses to turn over his data? Three guesses, first two don't count.

Michael Mann, who chose to file what many consider to be a cynical SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) libel suit in the British Columbia Supreme Court, Vancouver six long years ago, has astonished legal experts by refusing to comply with the court direction to hand over all his disputed graph’s data. Mann’s iconic hockey stick has been relied upon by the UN’s IPCC and western governments as crucial evidence for the science of ‘man-made global warming.’

As first reported in Principia Scientific International (February 1, 2017), the defendant in the case, Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball, had won “concessions” against Mann, but at the time the details were kept confidential, pending Mann’s response.

The negative and unresponsive actions of Dr Mann and his lawyer, Roger McConchie, are expected to infuriate the judge and be the signal for the collapse of Mann’s multi-million dollar libel suit against Dr Ball. It will be music to the ears of so-called ‘climate deniers’ like President Donald Trump and his EPA Chief, Scott Pruitt.

As Dr Ball explains:

“Michael Mann moved for an adjournment of the trial scheduled for February 20, 2017. We had little choice because Canadian courts always grant adjournments before a trial in their belief that an out of court settlement is preferable. We agreed to an adjournment with conditions. The major one was that he [Mann] produce all documents including computer codes by February 20th, 2017. He failed to meet the deadline.”

Punishment for Civil Contempt

Mann’s now proven contempt of court means Ball is entitled to have the court serve upon Mann the fullest punishment. Contempt sanctions could reasonably include the judge ruling that Dr. Ball’s statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn. State’ is a precise and true statement of fact. This is because under Canada’s unique ‘Truth Defense’, Mann is now proven to have wilfully hidden his data, so the court may rule he hid it because it is fake. As such, the court must then dismiss Mann’s entire libel suit with costs awarded to Ball and his team.

Michael Mann refuses to hand over data to judge in climate change trial

Yeah, we heard about this yesterday! I have been one of the many contributors to Dr. Balls defense and this is sweet music!

And it too is wrong. Simple graphs are the products of simpletons.



"We are living in a paradoxical time of population growth. In the media, there have been alarming reports asking how the world will be able to deal with a much larger population in years to come. The challenges are real, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, whose population is expected to double by 2050 and possibly quadruple by 2100. At the same time, we have been experiencing the most rapid decline in global population growth ever.

But how can we reconcile those two facts: a rapid expansion of total population numbers with a fast slowdown of population growth? Here is an analogy from the world of cars: imagine you are driving on a German motorway, where speed limits are notoriously non-existent. You are cruising at 160km/h (100m/h) but soon you cross the border into France, where 130 km/h is the limit. You are still driving very fast, though substantially slower than before. Now you switch to a regional road, driving at 80km/h, and now you slow down further to 50 km/h as you enter into a town. Meanwhile, someone else is still driving at 160 km/h on that Autobahn.

Global population growth is following a similar path. Even though we are still growing at a high rate the slowdown has already started and we will never revert to the high speed we had in the past. We have already passed two historical peaks of global demography a few decades ago:

• In 1968, we reached the relative peak in global population growth rate. Then, the world grew at a record 2.09 percent – adding 73.2 million to a world population of 3.54 billion. This historical peak was part of a seven-year high-growth period – from 1966 to 1972 – and the only time in recorded history when the world’s population grew above two percent. I was also born at that time.
• In 1988, just before the fall of the Berlin wall, we reached the absolute peak in global population growth (i.e. in the number of people added). The world gained almost 93 million people and since then world population growth has been declining also in absolute terms."

The Rapid Slowdown of Population Growth

I guess you didn't get the memo. The hockey stick is shit, and so is every paper that used his "data". Now, proven in a Court of Law. In other words, you lose.

What "trapped" energy. Can you provide a single bit of observed, measured data demonstrating that CO2 or any so called greenhouse gas other than water actually "traps" energy?

Logic demands that you first determine if your beliefs are true...CO2 doesn't trap anything.

The only people who aren't skeptical are religious zealots.

The man behind the Climategate Scandal where he admitted in emails he would destroy the man made global warming fake data rather than have other scientists look at it.......is now in Contempt of Court. He sued Mark Styen, who called him out for his fake data.....and now, he is refusing to produce his data for the court....

Articles: Things Get Hot for Michael Mann

He did even worse; he launched a campaign of punitive lawsuits against anyone who criticized him. He has sued Mark Steyn, National Review Online, and climatologist Dr. Timothy Ball.

Mann shot himself in the foot with that last. For several years, Mann had refused to produce his data for the court (in support of his own case), claiming that it was “proprietary.” After missing a February 20th deadline, he now finds himself in contempt. Under Canadian law, the court is now required to dismiss the suit.

John O'Sullivan goes into detail:

"The defendant in the libel trial, the 79-year-old Canadian climatologist, Dr Tim Ball… is expected to instruct his British Columbia attorneys to trigger mandatory punitive court sanctions, including a ruling that Mann did act with criminal intent when using public funds to commit climate data fraud. Mann’s imminent defeat is set to send shock waves worldwide within the climate science community as the outcome will be both a legal and scientific vindication of U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that climate scare stories are a “hoax.”

[...]

"Michael Mann, who chose to file what many consider to be a cynical SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) libel suit in the British Columbia Supreme Court, Vancouver six long years ago, has astonished legal experts by refusing to comply with the court direction to hand over all his disputed graph’s data.

Mann has been waging lawfare against people who have rightly called him out on his deceptive practices, practices paid for with tax dollars and subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

In point of fact, the Gang Green, the radical environmental lobby promoting the global warming hysteria, has poured massiveamounts of money into the effort, far more than was spent by their opposition.

‘Scientist’ Michael Mann Commits Contempt of Court in ‘Climate Science Trial of the Century’
