 Global Warming Alarmist Sues Scientists, Saying Academic Critiques Of His Work Are ‘Defamation’
A Stanford professor is suing other scientists for critiquing his work in favor of 'renewable energy.' That's not how science works.

If we have such an overwhelming scientific “consensus” about the supposed threat of catastrophic man-made global warming—and about the political and economic solutions to it—then why do advocates have to sue scientists to prevent them from questioning it? That’s the question raised by a $10 million lawsuit lawsuit filed by Stanford engineering professor Mark Z. Jacobson accusing other scientists of defamation for critiquing his scientific work in favor of “renewal energy.”

That’s not how science works. That’s not how any of this is supposed to work.

I thought 'critiquing' of one scientists work by others was called 'peer review'? Sounds like someone is crying because his 'work' was exposed as Bolshevik.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Standard crap.  If you can't win on facts, go shopping for the right judge or sue.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
