Summary
In this Scoop episode, we’re bringing you the latest segment of our podcast “Climate Change on Trial”. You might remember that Mark Steyn is being sued by Penn State climate scientist and activist, Michael Mann. Mann alleges Steyn defamed him in a 2012 National Review blog post that condemned both Mann's hockey stick and the Penn State investigation into scientific malfeasance. This free speech trial of the century has entered its final stages and is rapidly coming to its dramatic close. On today’s show, we are coming to you from Washington, DC where we are covering the trial in a very special way. By having actors reenact court transcripts verbatim, we bring you the most exciting exchanges from the courtroom.
