Michael Mann’s hockey stick, finally where it belongs

I’m sure that everyone remembers the craptastic, unduplicatable ‘hockey stick’ graph that the climate ghouls used to bludgeon the world and waste billions of dollars to prevent global warming, right?

Well apparently it’s not just Mann’s research that is crappy, it’s his legal dealings as well since he just got slapped for ‘acting in bad faith’.

As a result, he owes more than $28,000 to two bloggers, who once faced $1 million in damages that a jury had awarded to Mann in his defamation suit against them. The ruling also had strong words concerning Mann’s conduct in the case, accusing him of presenting figures to the jury that he knew to be incorrect.

Not only was his climate data grossly inflated, he also inflated the value of his ‘lost grants’ by quite a lot–he claimed $9.7 million when the real figure was $112,000.

I guess when someone is used to putting false data out there, it just becomes a habit. Too bad this asshat can’t be held accountable for all of the money spent based on his bad information as well.
