Defamation trials are not finders of fact nor arbiters of truth.

One should never enter into a defamation trial believing that truth is a valid defense - although defense of truth can be.

Fortunately, Mann cannot claim a victory of demonstrable truth itself just the fact that his reputation was subjected to undeserved malice.

This is the only result we should have expected. Now that they have proved they can keep all of humanity under lockdown due to any health emergency, next up is doing the same to save the planet, thus any criticism of the climate models used to prove such and emergency exists is not to be allowed.

Simply put, we did not fight and stop any of this, thus are days of relative freedom are numbered. Enjoy them while you can.

This is as much a legal travesty as it is a strawman that artfully placed the 'climatism' charade and its magician in the dock to engineer the illusion of victory. It is repulsive, irrational, totalitarian and in the end, futile and self-defeating.
