@DombroskiMike Paraphrasing Michael Malice: woke losers love the idea of social credit because obedience is one of the few metrics on which they can actually compete.
@pbrassey@RogerPielkeJr "Climate change is real"
Thanks for settling an argument nobody's been having in the last 200 years. :-)
"the judgment was not about climate science but about courtroom behavior"
PS Wanna know a secret about science? Science is ethics.
Very good news for @MarkSteynOnline. Judge reduced the (improper) punitive damage award from $1,000,000 to an insulting $5,000.
Meanwhile, over $500,000 in legal costs have been awarded against Mann in favor of National Review. I wonder why CEI hasn't submitted similar claim for legal costs.
@Bluecheese1009@libsoftiktok Let me get this straight. Musk is a fascist and pushes fascist propaganda. But then one day he goes a bit too far and literally does a fascist gesture!
Out of curiosity, can you name any other fascist who's been condemned for their offensive salutes?
@StevenCaamano @libsoftiktok Did you really mean to include "intent" as a relevant factor?
Because you just killed the story. Oh well, it was a fun news cycle while it lasted.
in the DC trial, the judge blocked both McKitrick and myself from presenting evidence on Mann's omission of his failed verification R2 results and even blocked evidence of the failed results due to vociferous objections by Mann's lawyers. He even blocked presentation to the jury of a table published in Geophysical Research Letters. Rather than Mann defending his omission of bad verification statistics before the jury, Mann and his lawyers once again sought successfully to conceal.
nor did Wyner do his clients any service. Whereas Wyner argued that a R2 of 0.017 in statistics related to Gaza fatalities indicated fraud, in his so-called "expert" report, Wyner failed to discuss Mann's even lower verification R2 in MBH98 and omitted all discussion of one of the most notorious MBH98 issues, known to hundreds if not thousands of readers.

3. a trans-woman is a woman?
4. a trans-woman is a cis-woman?
Answers:
1. Yes
