ECO-EVENT 5: Hearing for a climate fraud case

An almost year-long effort of Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II of Virginia to force the University of Virginia to hand over documents of a university climatologist is heading to the Supreme Court.

Cuccinelli is not a believer in climate change being caused by humans and he is led to believe that University of Virginia climatologist, Michael Mann, is responsible for deliberately providing false information to the government for his application for research grants.

So far it has been decided that Cuccinelli does not have enough evidence, but the case is still continuing.

When I heard about this case two thoughts came to mind. How can someone honestly think that climate change/global warming is in some part caused by humans, and I can see how in some way a person wanting money for research for embellish or make some facts more dramatic than they really are.

In conclusion, I am not sure how this case will resolve itself, but one thing is for sure- we cannot deny that sustainability issues most certainly involve humans.
