Famous Climate-gate fraud

There have been about half a dozen investigations into Mann's work on MBH 1998. They've all exonerated him.

Including the highest scientific bodies that there are. Academy affirms hockey-stick graph

But the gold standard in science is reproduction. Nearly 2 dozen northern hemisphere temperature reconstructions mimic the famous Mann, Bradley & Hughes hockey stick of 1998.

So not only is there no fraud, Mann is also still right now over a quarter of a century later.

One of the mechanisms that the powerful fossil fuel lobby has for controlling the narrative is making personal attacks on scientists. Knowing that many of their followers are hard right wing, and prone to terrorism as a tool for influencing politics. Dr. Mann deserves decent compensation for what these companies who's big money is threatened by the truth's he's been telling these past 25 years.

In the recent history of significant defamation payouts by people for defamation including mostly punitive damages, I hope the courts see this the same way. No one should have their life changed like Mann has for publishing a temperature reconstruction that's correct.
