Mark Steyn’s Vanquishing of Michael Mann Continues – The Daily Sceptic

Here, the Court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that Dr Mann, through [his lawyers] Mr Fontaine and Mr Williams, acted in bad faith when they presented erroneous evidence and made false representations to the jury and the Court regarding damages stemming from loss of grant funding. … The Court does not reach this decision lightly.

So in other words... Mann made shit up again.

They [ Mann and his lawyer ] each knowingly made a false statement of fact to the Court and Dr Mann knowingly participated in the falsehood, endeavouring to make the strongest case possible even if it required using erroneous and misleading information.

I wonder if he displayed this behavior in other contexts. We shall never know...
