The Climate Science Legal Defense Fund <\/a>continues to receive donations and offers of help from various stakeholders. We are actively working with several organizations in order to make CSLDF a one-stop resource for scientists looking for legal resources and we are currently pursuing several educational and legal initiatives which will be made public in the future.<\/p>\n

In the short-term, CSLDF would greatly appreciate your financial support to help Dr. Michael Mann. Funds are needed to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fend-off ATI’s demand to take Dr. Mann’s deposition, which is a blatant attempt to harass and intimidate him for exercising his constitutional rights by petitioning to intervene in the case.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    Defeat ATI’s attempt to obtain Dr. Mann’s email correspondence through the civil discovery process, which essentially is an “end-run” around the scholarly research exemption under the Virginia FOIA law.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Prepare for summary judgment on the issue of the exempt status of his email correspondence under the Virginia FOIA law.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Donations can be sent to CSLDF online<\/a> or by sending a check made out to PEER, with Climate Science LDF on the memo line to:<\/p>\n

    Climate Science Legal Defense Fund
