This was sent to me by the Ball family Saturday evening. See note that follows.
It is with deep grief that we announce the passing of Dr. Timothy Ball. Tim made his end of life transition Sept 24th with his wife of over 60 years at his side, holding his hand.
At Tim’s request there will be no public service.
Our family will gather privately to celebrate Tim’s life together in the beautiful home he built with his wife, at the table that we had the blessing to have shared many meals together. One of Tim’s great joys was sitting back to watch his family talk, laugh & enjoy each others company. We will raise our glasses to toast the incredible man we all deeply love.
In Lieu of flowers or gifts the family requests that you join them in raising a glass in honour of Tim.
During this difficult time we ask that all communications be directed to: generalistjournal@gmail.com
Thank you,
The Ball Family
Given that the execrable Michael Mann never paid his court ordered costs, the Ball family has authorized me to start a GoFundMe on their behalf to cover funeral and other expenses.
I’m sure the climate skeptic community will rise to the occasion. I will make an announcement about the GoFundMe on WUWT tomorrow.
In the meantime, please see this video, honoring Dr. Ball and his lifetime of achevements: Tim Ball Receives the Lifetime Achievement in Climate Science Award.
What a wonderful, short and to the point history lesson on the global warming religion. Thank you Dr. Ball.
Very sorry to hear the passing of such a fighter for truth. My condolences to his family and friends.
RIP Dr Ball.
My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Dr Ball.
And may Michael Mann rot.
The word “hero” should be subtracted from sports mercenaries and leftists speaking power to truth and reserved for staunch western warriors for truth like Dr. Ball. May he rest in well-deserved peace, knowing he fought the good fight against the worst, the cackling Mann and won a moral victory.
He fought the fake science…and won!
RIP Dr. Ball.
Please do not use GoFundMe. A) supports a leftist global woke green agenda; B) will keep the funds.
I for one, will certainly raise a glass in respect and honour of Dr. Tim Ball. Sympathies to his son David and the family. May he rest in peace.
I met with and spoke to Dr. Ball on several occasions at conferences and meetings, and found him to be one of most realistic and responsible observers and commentators on the climate issue that anyone could expect. He backed his conclusions and opinions with years of study and research and was never stampeded into advocating drastic measures when none were called for.
Thank you for your dedication to truth and honesty. A true man of honour and integrity.
A very sad day indeed. The world is less off without Tim. My thoughts are with his incredibly strong family.

My heartfelt condolences to Tim Ball’s wife and family. I came to know of Tim through his YouTube videos through the Heartland Institute. I was a geography student at the U of Sask in the late 1980’s, so his perspective on our climate and the problems he raised with climate change and global warming was an eye opener for me. His talks led me to begin to inform myself to all things of climate, and I thank him for his knowledge and his seeking the truth in regards to Meterology and weather and climate. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Give to the fund towards his funeral costs. Go with God Tim.
thank god he had students to carry on his ground breaking research.
oh wait
Well, I wasn’t one of his students, but I knew long ago that Dr. Ball was a good man and a scientist who stuck to his convictions despite being hated for it by drecks such as Mann who continues to insult the decision of the court a win Dr. Ball gained because he fights and eventually defeats the dreck because he was correct in what he said.
I admire people like Dr. Ball who risked a lot to defend his legal and rational position.
Sad to hear of his passing. It seems it is the habits of saints to die unnoticed.
CS Lewis died on the day of the Kennedy assasination, Mother Theresa died on the day Princess Diana died. And Dr, Ball? In the midst of clanging gongs and tinkling cymbals.
“Given that the execrable Michael Mann never paid his court ordered costs”
I would have thought that failure to pay the costs ordered by the court constitutes contempt of court and Mann could get arrested if he sets foot in Canada. Surely Dr Ball’s estate can sue him for the money.
It does appear that this is correct in Canadian Law. Mann is now subject to arrest and imprisonment if he sets foot in Canada.

When people like Dr. Tim Ball die, science regresses one funeral at a time.
In my books he was a great man who fought for only the truth how he saw it..
My condolences to his family as he will be missed.
An immensely painful loss for science. I went to see Dr. Ball speak about 15 years ago fully expecting to deride him for absurd science. Instead I had my eyes opened to the climate scam and the failings of the modern approach to science. He changed my life and I am hugely indebted to him.
When people like Tim die it reverses the saying that science advances one death at a time. A great and honest comunicator, and his writings and presentations remain a source of true science. I mourne his loss.
Very sad. A man and scientist of integrity and no small amount of bravery.
I’m really sorry to hear that Tim Ball has passed.
He was a scientist of the highest competence, he had the courage of a scientist when so many betrayed it, and he stood up to and took on the worst character assassins among the climate so-called scientists and progressives.
Tim Ball is a hero in every possible sense.
First heard about Dr. Ball’s passing on Coast To Coast last night. George Noory sent his condolences and mentioned Tim was a guest many times on the show. Will miss your insight. God Bless.
Was Dr. Ball fully vaxed? Did his death involve sudden cardiac death?
No. He died inch by inch after Greta Thunberg had an audience at the UN.
