For many years, Dr. Tim Ball has joined us to explain climate science, how the climate is changing, and how those changes differ drastically from with the United Nations, politicians and the media insist are the facts about climate change.

In addition to interviews, Dr. Ball also makes presentations confronting the conventional wisdom among scientists.  But instead of responding with a robust debate, the climate change advocates instead ridicule Dr. Ball and they sue him - a lot.

Dr. Ball, who taught climatology at the University of Winnipeg, was the target of multiple lawsuits known as SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) suits.  Every contested case against him has been dismissed, with one still pending.  And they get dismissed because the plaintiffs refuse to engage Dr. Ball on the scientific merits.  But standing up for himself in court has cost Dr. Ball $800,000.

In this podcast, Ball explains the real reason is is sued for defamation.  He says it's because he has the gall to confront a movement that refuses to tolerate any dissension.

"What people should be worried about is the increasing use of the law to silence people," said Dr. Ball.

Listen to the full podcast, as Dr. Ball explains why the "scientific consensus" is bogus, why climate scientists often stay silent out fear of reprisal, and the ones who do look at the evidence are appalled at what has been allowed to pass for concrete science.
