"Conservative media organization National Review is taking its legal battle against climate scientist Michael Mann to the Supreme Court — the latest push in a case involving climate science and the First Amendment.
The National Review filed a petition last month, claiming that the District of Columbia Court of Appeals — a local-level court — had ruled in error when it said the publication could be held liable for defamation because its writings about Mann's research could be seen as 'provably false.'
At issue is a 2012 column that accused Mann of fraud and called him the 'Jerry Sandusky of climate science,' referring to the football coach and convicted child molester."
