Nothing happened.
Some Soros- Style Oligarch will pay for it.
Which means : the taxpayer via NGO scam.

But won’t that be taxable income to Dr Mann?

It would be considered a gift
title 26 Section 2501 et sq

Mann is a long way from paying
A – Its been appealled to the circuit court of appeals
B – fwiw every ruling has been appealled
c – Even if Mann loses the appeals, its still a long way from collecting the award.

the only thing I think is worth considering is if Mann eventually loses through all the apeal process, what is the chance the guardian angels that have been funding the lawsuit will fork over the damages or will they bail and leave mann with paying the judgement?,

Whoever dropped that nugget of a comment in the other thread deserves a medal.

I think it was Strat, but I’m pretty sure the hockey stick came to everyone’s mind

And that’s just the legal fees.
What does he owe the rest of us for the damages he’s caused?
(Oh! I forgot. He did it all for “The Cause”. He doesn’t think he owes anything to anybody.)

I got the notice for this in Email. I thought a second and started laughing expecting to see the graph above.

And what a great quote from McIntyre.

Maybe his CO2 is drive his legal costs too.

If you feel the need to help Dr Mann out, you can buy his new book, which he plugs here:

and here:

Or you can donate to the CSLDF. All donations are tax deductable.

It appears Dr Mann is not at all concerned with what courts throw at him.

If anyone see any evidence that he is suffering from these court imposed penalties, please let me know.

Plenty of room up there for solar panels.

Irony appears to be a difficult concept.

May 23, 2025 5:34 pm

The irony here is immense!
I would say the average memory on news in our country is maybe 3 days ( only for the biggest events!) Had Mann just ignored the criticism, it would have been forgotten 10 years ago but instead on a regular basis, the public is reminded of the failure of the hockey stick & he’s out $1M + :
Definition of losing!

Fore effect I think I’ll listen to a few Streisand songs: What Kind of Fool, Guilty, Send in the Clowns, etc.

A hockey stick we can all get behind.

As Homer Simpson would say, it’s funny because it’s true.

Also, it’s funny because it’s not happening to me.

The people who are funding him need to be exposed.

May 24, 2025 7:14 am

Has Mann commented on the case?

It’s a disgrace that Mann has been elected to the Royal Society . I have written to them twice – no reply.

May 24, 2025 8:21 pm

As I recall he never paid court costs to Tim Ball, bankrupted his wife.
but that was a canadian court so maybe he feels safe.
assume he will appeal this but if he loses he would have to pay, unless he goes on the lam from the USA?

Fitting end for the grifter Piltdown Mann

That is a “hockey stick” graph I can endorse.
