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.

    Cook's paper doesn't mean what you want it to mean. Even if its methods were above reproach (which they're not, it's massively arbitrary and subject to confirmation bias), the result is still un-useful nonsense. And since pretty much everybody believes that humans impact the environment and thus impact climate change on some level, ITS SLOPPY METHODOLOGY WOULD INCLUDE SKEPTICS OF AGW CATASTROPHISM IN ITS 97%!!!!

    Sorry, but yelling that made me feel a little better. And besides, you yelled. Toodle-oo!
