Court Rejects Michael Mann's Request to Delay His Massive $530,000 Debt to National Review

Climate Jive Turkey Michael Mann sued National Review for ten years claiming they defamed him by questioning Doctor Hockey Stick's alleged "science." He lost. Not only did he lose, but he presented misleading claims to the court to jack up the damages he was seeking, and, due to this misrepresentation, was ordered to pay National Review's legal bills.

He's now boo-hoo whinin' and cryin' that he can't pay right now.

The court ordered him to pay up.

Court Delivers Massive Blow To Famed Climate Scientist Who Sued Critics

A Washington, D.C., court rejected University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann's bid to postpone his required payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars to National Review on Thursday.

The Superior Court of the District of Columbia ruled in January that Mann owes National Review approximately $530,000 to cover the outlet's legal fees after spending more than a decade locked in defamation litigation against the organization, and Mann subsequently requested a stay to postpone the payments. On Thursday, the court denied Mann's request, meaning that he will likely have to pony up cash to an outlet he once described in emails as a "threat to our children."

Your wife's children, maybe.

...

In a filing opposing National Review's request for compensation, Mann argued that the move was a "mean-spirited and unjustified request by a powerful organization" intending to intimidate and silence him.

Notably, Judge Albert Irving wrote in March that Mann and his lawyers had presented misleading information to the jury while the defamation case was at trial. Specifically, Mann and his representation misled the jury as to how much grant funding he missed out on due to the actions of the defendants, a key element of his defamation case, with Irving describing the deception as "extraordinary in its scope, extent, and intent."

I'll tell you what's extraordinary -- getting cucked by the cucks at National Review. I don't know how that's even possible!

Michael Mann is the George Conway of Rosie Ruizes.
