00:00 Climate Scientist Michael Mann Beats Deniers, Defamers in Court; Hopes to Empower Others to Speak Out
1:20 We speak with world-renowned climate scientist Michael Mann, who was just awarded more than $1 million in a defamation lawsuit against two right-wing critics who smeared his work connecting fossil fuels to rising global temperatures. He joins us to discuss the importance of resisting climate denialism through free scientific inquiry and expression. "We all pay the price when scientists don't feel empowered to speak out about the implications of their science," says Mann. Mann says he hopes his legal win will protect others who have been silenced by the threat of defamation so that "scientists will feel more comfortable in leaving the laboratory and speaking to the public and policymakers."
06:16 The Climate Election: Mark Hertsgaard on Why 2024 Must Focus More on Climate Crisis
We also speak with The Nation's environment correspondent Mark Hertsgaard, executive director of Covering Climate Now, about how journalists under attack by climate deniers must not let fear of retaliation stop them from covering the subject, especially during an election year. "It's not our job as journalists to censor ourselves because one party or one candidate decides that they're going to deny climate science. We owe it to the public to report that to the public without fear or favor," he says. Hertsgaard also discusses the role of climate policy in the 2024 election and the fifth anniversary of progressive lawmakers' first attempt to pass a Green New Deal.

6:17 - Journalist Mark Hertsgaard talks about the role of the media in the climate crisis
It should actually be quite simple; if you lack the knowledge and comprehension regarding a topic then you either start doing your research untill you''re equipped to make a constructive contribution in solving the problem or you just let the people speak who actually do know what they are talking about, instead of bringing nothing but noise and error to the table, there is no moral high ground nor any selfindulgent forms of heroism to be found in prosecuting the acts of reasoning and obstructing progess in finding truth. Repeating rubbish as loud and proud as possible just because it makes you feel good isn''t activism, its sabotage and terrorism.
Everything I just bought at Home Depot has a Cancer warning on it.. but I don't know anyone with cancer and I don't think it's much of a problem. I believe the millions of people dying right now should really be more worried about the immediate threat of climate change.
Prof. Eliot Jacobson would be fun to have on your show. Mann doesn't like Eliot's outlook on civilization which some would call realistic.
What about actual journalism? What was the evidence that proved that Mann didn't manipulate the data? Or did the judge just relied on the assessment of the university where Mann is working (conflict of interest?)?
Tree ring data is very suspicious. Not just Mann's assessment of it, but the whole field. I'll just quote one of the puoneers of that science Gordon Jacoby. Everyone else can make their own conclusions if they want to rely on such approach:
"We strive to develop and use the best data possible. The criteria are good common low and high-frequency variation, absence of evidence of disturbance (either observed at the site or in the data), and correspondence or correlation with local or regional temperature. If a chronology does not satisfy these criteria, we do not use it. The quality can be evaluated at various steps in the development process. As we are mission oriented, we do not waste time on further analyses if it is apparent that the resulting chronology would be of inferior quality.
If we get a good climatic story from a chronology, we write a paper using it. That is our funded mission. It does not make sense to expend efforts on marginal or poor data and it is a waste of funding agency and taxpayer dollars. The rejected data are set aside and not archived."
If you want to have fun with climate science, go and find the original 1901 paper by Nills Ekholm. This is the actual first paper where greenhouse effect is introduced through the unicorn of "mean altitude of the emission " the concept that is later used pervasively in the whoke field. Just read 1981 James Hansen Paper in Science, it is the same concept. But the conclusions from the same theory are totally different. It is quite fascinating. Try it

In 2019 Dr. Tim Ball won a lawsuit filed against him by M. Mann. As part of the judgement the court ordered Mann to pay Dr. Ball's legal expenses of over one million dollars. Mann did not pay (it was a court in British Columbia, Canada). Dr. Ball has since died, and Mann has, to the best of my knowledge, not repaid the expenses to Dr. Ball's estate. As part of the discovery process Mann had to drop his pants, show his data and statistical methods, both of which had been much criticized by many other climate scientists and professional statisticians. Mann refused. A quick internet search will turn up many articles surrounding this case.
Mann's hockey stick, even the "revised" hockey stick has been debunked many times over. He should use the million dollars he won in this case to finally repay the Ball expenses in the suit Dr. Ball won against Mann.
One million is pocket change. Those ghouls got paid much more, I'm sure. Should have been 100 Million
It was symbolic. The real money is in Climate Change Denial. You gotta go where the money is. It's the American way.😅

I'm so glad they are being held accountable. I say that as a geologist that's been extremely frustrated with the fossil fuel industry lies for decades.
Climate change is a lie.
Climate change will happen even if humans weren't here.
Dr. Mann chooses his words very well. I'm glad he won after so long. On the flip side, a growing number of scientists are saying researchers who think we've taken this pollution problem too far and we're heading for collapse are afraid of losing their jobs if they speak out.
Fighting for Climate science and Climate scientists. Thanks
yes and one has to figure out where the money is? first?
I like that, --“your vote is *Not* a valentine, it’s a chess move.”

That is why I will vote for neither Biden or Trump. I disagree with RFK Jr. in many ways, but that is the likely chess move I will make with my vote.
As far as I can tell, both parties are hopelessly and permanently corrupt. I considerJoe Biden as much of a threat as I do Trump.
💯
RFK campaign does not connect human activity to climate change; what sort of policies will come from that? Not sure if I can handle his vocal-fry defending that for four years. There is so much power and agenda coupled w loss of ethical compass(true sources of corruption) involved in governance- imo that stems from our corporate-funded election cycles that start more than a year and a half before the election. Not even sure if RFK cares about that sort of thing, but if he did he might have my ear- in spite of the vocal fry.
@@andywomack3414 RFK supports the genocide in Gaza, at the very least pick someone like Cornel West who doesn't.
I can not stand it. It grates against my very soul. Its a cheap manipulation to make you surrender to the status quo and think you're being smart and grown up while you do so. Its insidious, and part of the paralysis of the left for the past 40 years. Liberal incrementalism has led us to this point. More of the same is not going to save us, things will keep degrading at an exponential rate.
We can live the same lifestyle and even better if we work with nature.
Thank you climate scientists! 🙏
I viewed their live stream. Thank you sunrise movement
I am glad that Dr Mann won his defamation lawsuit and while that is a huge victory, since attacking scientists on a personal level isn't the way to dispute their findings, it indirectly is a victory for climate change science itself.
Climate "science" is a joke, nothing has been achieved other than funneling money to green energy scams (owned by traditional energy companies) and moving industry to countries with less regulations
No it is not, wishful thinking.His science is highly debated and there are just as many scientists who completely disagree with his views.He won this case because he was attacked on a personal level and that’s all, it did not confirm he is correct about anything scientific
@@Penny-em2cs I'm blown away he got the call, defamation is so tricky, finger was definitely on the scale
You do know that Mann’s hockey stick was proven that he manipulated data, right?
There are not 'just a many scientists who completely disagree with is his views' the amount of climate change denying scientists is tiny. It is the right wing media that makes those lying claims.@@Penny-em2cs
Congratulations, Michael! 👏🙏
I'm sure the shareholders at Exxon are ready to see reason now. I love being an involuntary member of a world suicide pact. Looking on the bright side, there's no snow on the ground in Minneapolis in February. Think of the saving on heating bills.
Arctic sea ice stopped melting away about ten years ago and has been increasing. It is about 5% below the 1981 to 2010 median. It is interesting how it stopped melting away when the seismic activity subsided. It was warm back in the mid 1900's amidst reports of melting Arctic sea ice but without accurate satellite measurement. The thermometers showed temperatures comparable or higher than recent decades. The seismic activity was also comparable and correlates with the gradual cooling from. 1940 to 1980 as the seismic activity subsided. But the warming in the mid-1900's was removed from the graphs by Mr. Mann and friends who said something about the time of day observation effect or rehogenization of the rural and urban temperatures. World renowned scientists know about such things.
All I can add is that I am so glad that there are still people like Michael Mann out there who have integrity and a belief in honesty.
You should have listened to the trial. You might have a different opinion.
@@DelusionalDoug I think the truth lies more in your name!!!

The dangers of climate change are much more imminent and more existential than Mann will admit.
I suspect that all of the madness that is being provoked by certain people like the TH-cam deleters will visit them at some time.
That’s a lot of propaganda right there! 🤦♀️
Our Constitutional right to free speech, does not protect us from the legal consequences of violent or false speech.🙌
lol no. It does protect that speech. "Violent speech" is allowed. Only specific, and organized incitement to violence is not protected. Actual malice in a defamation is not protected speech but it must be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have been intentional as outlined in New York Times v Sullivan.

"Falsely accusing"? The word molesting can apply to any number of things. I don't work for an pil company. Geologist Tom Hanks settled the science a long time ago.

I don't think we can stop the climate crisis in time. Hopefully I'm wrong. Make the most of the time we have left. Carpe diem
We can’t but we can stop the worst of it. Read Manns work, I wouldn’t call him positive but he’s not a doomer.
@@JackthestripperWhat exactly is 'the worst'?
("A spade should be called a spade")
How does 'three quarters of the worst' compile with Civilization?
Because the “climate crisis” is not a real concern. It’s just fear-mongering
Well That is a sure way of not stopping it.
When I was in college they said we'd be dead by 1985. You do realize the earth has been far warmer in the past and why do you presume this is all a negative? And the idea that humans can control climate is a childish fantasy. Hubris.
Thank you, Amy, juan and democracy now.
Do our thoughts influence nature?
Indeed, our thoughts influence nature.
We live in a single global-integral system of nature, we influence it with our thoughts, and we receive feedback accordingly.
Similar to laws that operate on mechanical, electronic, electromagnetic and other material and biological scales, when we press, push or constrain something, we receive a response. Likewise, when we think positively or negatively about others, we accordingly receive a response.
The global-integral reality in which we live is a closed system, and we receive responses from it according to our attitudes to it.

I love you
I know, for your joy is more important than mine
If we wanted to save the world, we would all do this
And it would be sublime
Elevating us to Heaven on Earth
It is not happening now and would require a rebirth
To feel for another, and be happy for their smile
And to do a kind of favor, and let someone rest for a while
What is right about you that you do this
Making easy or lightning another load
We travel down life, but that makes a happier road
Wherever we are going, and whatever we do
The universe comes together, and so should me and you
Not a single couple, but everyone that we are
Should treat us all like the shining star
That is the source of love
Save the world

FOR YOUR EDITORS. You need to get James Hensan on instead of Michael E. Mann, as he is part of the "business as usual," movement of scientists, and his credibility is rapidly falling.
am i the only one who cringes when i hear the phrase "right wing climate denier" its just so loaded with propaganda. you can be skeptical or have an alternative view without being right wing or "denying" anything
Truly great men! and lady! Why are there not More like them?
Im not against climate change and don’t deny things are changing a bit but it may not be man made as much as scientists think. And, and we are being taxed and controlled by fear and attacked if we rise up at all over it. Climates change does good for some areas and bad for others but adapting is key and NOT taxing. In government usually if there is a problem there is a tax or a right given up!

If you followed the trial you would know that the only way Mann won this lawsuit is because the trial was held in Washington D.C., the most liberal jurisdiction in the country. In any other state in the country he loses this case hands down. In fact the D.C. jury awarded Mann only $1 from both of the defendants in compensation. That tells you right there that the jury didn't feel Mann was harmed at all by the comments and hence Mann should have lost the case.
The punitive damages of $10,000 for Simberg and $1,000,000 for Steyn will be appealed and will likely be thrown out. By law they cannot be greater than 10x the compensation award ($1) that Mann was given.
I mean c'mon a nobody blogger refers to him as the "Sandusky of climate change" and that is considered illegal!! Far worse is said every day all over the place.
Mann is a vindictive asshole who tries to suppress an voice of opposition to his research, which I might add is highly questionable.
Man made climate change is at best highly uncertain, at worst the biggest scientific fraud in history.
