I see Dr Michael Mann, currently suing me and National Review for “defamation”, is still passing himself off as a Nobel Laureate, despite having been told by both the Nobel Institute and the International Panel for Climate Change to cut it out.

Angelo State University is now correcting its pre-speech publicity – and good for them. But as I wrote here recently:

It is an interesting legal question whether a man who fraudently claims to be a Nobel laureate in a legal filing can, in any sense, be defamed.


*And on an unprecedented and industrial scale.
