Mann: Reality and threats of climate change are clear<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This is a guest column in the Times Dispatch by climate scientist Michael Mann discussing ongoing legal issues.<\/p>\n \nAttorney General Ken Cuccinelli certainly has some odd characters coming to his defense in this paper for his attempts to go after climate scientists like myself.<\/p>\n First came Charlie Battig, who sought to defend Cuccinelli\u2019s 2009 attempt to subpoena my personal U.Va. emails …<\/p>\n Most recently the Viscount Monckton of Brenchley of Edinburgh, Scotland, used offensive personal attacks and completely false statements in another attempt to defend Cuccinelli\u2019s use of state funds to engage in a politically motivated attack on both me and Thomas Jefferson\u2019s University of Virginia. …<\/p>\n The reality and threat of human-caused climate change are clear. Those such as Cuccinelli, who would silence scientists, and those like Monckton who are misleading the public about this critical issue, are doing a grave injustice not just to us, but to our children and grandchildren who will inherit the legacy of the energy choices we are making today….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
