mann suit
if someone publicly called you a fraud with no evidence whatsoever of your fraudliness, you'd really want to be able to sue them for defamation to make them stop. right? i sure would. so does michael mann. he's the guy who originally published the climate hockey stick data. and has been taking shit from certain quarters ever since. a private nutjob calling him a fraud is one thing. but a major news outlet is a completely different story. especially when said outlet investigated him several times and found no evidence of fraud. yet the allegations continued. you must be a fraud cause you got a result i don't believe. sheehs. turns out he was in the right scientifically. in a just world, he'd be in the right legally too. we'll see.
