It was a long time coming, but it's satisfying to see Mann stomped for one of the worst examples of lawfare against critics of his climate scams. Maybe he can use the $1 in compensatory damages he was awarded for the damage to his "reputation".
When a D.C. jury thinks your reputation is only worth a dollar, it's clear what your "hockey stick" was worth.
After a protracted legal battle, that lasted over eight years, a court in Washington D.C. has ordered University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann to pay National Review over half a million dollars in attorney fees and costs.
The ruling marks a significant victory for National Review, which was sued by Mann for defamation and infliction of emotional distress over two blog posts published in 2012 that criticized his work and involvement in a political dispute.
Mann's lawsuit, which the court ultimately deemed meritless, dragged on for years, forcing National Review to expend considerable resources in its defense. During the discovery process, it was revealed that Mann's intention was to use the lawsuit to "ruin National Review."
