Entropic Man: "Discovery could not begin until the anti-SLAPP appeal was decided. This was brought by Steyn's co-defendants and was therefore their responsibility. Please explain how this delay was Dr. Mann's fault."

If discovery could not begin until the anti-SLAPP appeal was decided, then how did Steyn make discovery before the anti-SLAPP appeal was decided? Your logic fails at the first hurdle, it seems to me. Mann could have pressed on with discovery regardless, but the appeal suited him nicely as an excuse not to do so (it's existence gave him an excuse, it did not prevent him for making discovery).

Comments from the Judge quoted earlier on the thread would seem to back my interpretation up.

Could someone here suggest a link to the information that Steyn has released during discovey.

I would like to browse through Steyn's bank statements, released during discovery, looking for evidence of Koch brothers financing?

For good science you get finance from governments and universities.

For bad science you go to an american oil company.

If only Climate Science had produced some evidence to back up those statements, you might have some credibility left.

EM. Having worked for two American oil companies to do science, what exactly do you imply by claiming that "bad science" is done there?

FYI, ET:

Steyn makes more money than you, the Koch brothers more than him, and more people care about their opinions than they do yours.

Nothing personal. Petroleum geology is not what I had in mind.

I was thinking of the trickle down of funds from oil companies such as Exxon to "scientists" who produce papers which reflect the deniers' political agenda rather than reality

Entropic Man, so with a mere trickle down of funds, and no Government backing, the might and wealth of the evil Green Blob Empire has been felled. Sounds like a David v Goliath story.

All Climate Science ever had to do was provide some evidence, that would stand up to cross examination, yet Mann does not want to risk it. How many billions were wasted? Or was it trillions?

All Trump has to do now, is find evidence of Financial Fraud, and Criminal investigations can proceed. The RICO 20 have very kindly signposted the way.

I deny having the same politics as Supertroll, and I expect he would deny the same. What is our Political agenda?

Reality is about to happen to Climate Science, and neither the Earth nor it's Climate will notice.

Good one, gc; all that alarm was so much sound and fury, signifying something, but not much.

EM, making your putrid assertion that good science must be funded by either government or university ignores the extremely well documented levels of bad or corrupt science. Your level of moronic thinking is only matched by the self revelation about your conspiratorial delusions.

It is dismaying to see that EM after all the evidence still believes the lies about Exxon and relies on laughable conspiracy plots no matter how many times they are disproved. It's like once the cheap veneer of wit he sometimes displays, there is really nothing of any substance at all...just a mediocre troll.

Hunter. Don't hold back, just say what you think (about EM's latest statement)!
Does it cross your mind that its a windup and EM gets his kicks from the replies he generates?

Supertroll, I guess dnftt is more productive. Thanks for the gentle reminder, lol

EM: "Could someone here suggest a link to the information that Steyn has released during discovery."

Almost certainly not. If, in a complex case such as this, discovery is done properly and comprehensively, then it will be massive. I very much doubt that anyone, whether in the Court office or otherwise, would be bothered to scan it all into a computer and make it available on the internet. I'm actually surprised how much information about Court cases can be found on the internet by those more skilled than me, but I think it would be extraordinary if it were available via that medium.

Radical Rodent & Supertroll

I think EM has just ruled out alternative funding sources for Climate Science, but I prefer EM's sense of humour, now that he realises what a joke climate science has become.

Yes, yes, yes, but this is a real man, really coming slowly to real terms with reality. Really, really.

So where is Phil, the VituperaBethative?

Luv ya too, hunter. It's been a long hunt.
=========

Kim, thanks. Your literary art is only matched by your keen insights. The hunt is likely to be far from over. The climatocracy eludes reality and defends its position with amazing tenacity.

Heehee, it's 'being' a long hunt. But the lizard scales found by the wayside provide fine roasting pans for the occasional bunny snared.

Oops, slipped on a particularly shiny one; thems are 'Dragon' scales.

Pining for the return of Game of Thrones there eh kim?
Winter is coming.

Heh, St. ACK, I was intrigued about a year ago when someone called the 'Game of Thrones' a parable about climate change. It's almost enough to get me to read the book. I have seen one video episode, which reminded me of second millennium European history more than anything else.
==============

And yeah, Winter is coming.
