Siberian trees grown, in whole or in part, during the Soviet era were often sliced up and sold as bread to the Russian people, most of whom were so hungry they didn't know the difference. A citizen of the USSR who complained was never seen or heard from again. Mann's research failed to account for this cunning juxtaposition. Besides, he doesn't even know how to spell his last name correctly. Anyway, good article, John. By definition, leftists are unaware they can't think straight.

Robert Bryce wrote about this also at https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/slapped. The decision also affected Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of fraudulent science at Stanford, who was required to reimburse legal fees to the National Academy of Sciences and Chris Clack. The decision was based on the District of Columbia’s Anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) Act, which prohibits the filing of lawsuits aimed at limiting public participation. Robert pointed out that Science magazine and New York Times were conspirators in this fraud; both have long records of scientific fraud.

Why did the $5000 judgement against Steyn stand?

Frank: Good question. Maybe the Jusge was throwing the Mann team a bone...

It's refreshing to read this, John. Proof positive that true science lives on! If Mann's case had won, science would have become nothing more than politics at its worst. This climate hoax must be exposed for what it is.

Everyone who reads the Bible and professes to be a believer should know that this is baloney just as evolution is baloney. I think it's called fake science. IF their fake science was true according to their "prophecy" the world would have already ended. This is just more government propaganda and lies. When you follow satan, you don't tell the truth
