Court rules against climate scientist Michael Mann, upholding $530,000 fee award to National Review
04/07/2025 / By Lance D Johnson



Michael Mann, a climate scientist, was ordered to pay $530,000 in legal fees to National Review.
Court denies Mann’s request to stay the payment.

Judge finds Mann and his lawyers misled the jury on key points, and upholds the fee award to National Review.

In a significant legal setback for climate scientist Michael Mann, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia has denied his request to stay the payment of $530,820.21 in legal fees to National Review. This ruling comes after a decade-long defamation lawsuit that Mann initiated against the conservative publication and its contributors. The court’s decision not only underscores the financial consequences of prolonged legal battles but also highlights the ethical and moral implications of misleading a jury.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
