Climate Change Skeptic Group Must Pay Damages To UVA, Michael Mann

Posted by Unknown on from the stop-trolling dept.

ideonexus (1257332) writes In January of 2014, the American Traditions Institute (ATI) sought climate scientist Micheal Mann's emails from his time at the University of Virginia, a request that was denied in the courts. Now the Virginia Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that ATI must pay damages for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Thus ends "Climategate." Hopefully.

    "Why this isn't climate change at all! It's *removes mask from monster* Michael Mann and 97% of the world's scientists!"

    "We would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling billionaires!"
