Tim Ball Stands By His Slander

Facing a libel suit for an article slandering University of Victoria Professor Andrew Weaver as someone who โ€œknew very little about climate changeโ€ and is therefore unfit to teach, Tim Ball has told the New York Times, โ€œI stand by theย story.โ€

The NYT also wrote: โ€œThe apology and retraction of the story by Canada Free Press โ€˜hung me out to dry,โ€™ Dr. Ball added, saying he was in the process of hiring a lawyer to fight theย lawsuit.โ€

Ball admits that he was incorrect in also saying that Weaver was โ€œabandoning the sinking shipโ€ of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (Weaver is, in fact, a lead author in the upcoming Fifth Assessment Report). But he dismisses this as โ€œone smallย mistake.โ€

Ballโ€™s โ€œsmall mistakeโ€ may be in thinking that he can continue to say any darn thing he likes, about climate change or the people involved in legitimate research, and never have to account for its accuracy. Not for much longer โ€ฆ.
