Climate scientist Michael Mann is suing for defamation in court : NPR
Climate scientist Michael Mann is suing author Mark Steyn and policy analyst Rand Simberg for defamation, with the trial drawing to a close in a D.C. courtroom. Mann, known for his “hockey stick graph” depicting global warming, alleges he lost funding and research opportunities as a result of defamatory statements. Steyn accused Mann’s research of being fraudulent, and Simberg compared Mann to convicted child sex abuser Jerry Sandusky. The case takes place amid an increase in attacks on scientists, particularly in the fields of climate science and biomedicine.
