A Stanford climate scientist was awarded $500,000 in legal fees after winning a lawsuit against another scientist and a journal over a critical academic article. The case, involving defamation, has exhausted appeals. The next legal battle involves National Review vs. Mann for $1M. The issue highlights the political weaponization and profitability of defamation lawsuits in the academic and scientific community.
