   Canadian Court Slams Trump Climate Advisor in Successful Libel Case   
   DeSmog, 27 May 2020   
   Dr. Tim Ball, who a Canadian court earlier derided as incompetent,   
   ill-intended, and apparently indifferent to the truth, has been further   
   rebuffed in the British Columbia Court of Appeal and must now stand libel   
   for a 9-year-old attack against prominent Canadian climate scientist   
   (and outgoing BC Green Party leader) Dr. Andrew Weaver. [...]   
   Tim Ball has been a long-standing, less-than-credible scourge in the   
   international climate conversation, overstating his own qualifications and   
   disparaging the legitimate climate science community. In 2006, for example,   
   he wrote a withering opinion piece in the Calgary Herald, at the end of   
   which he claimed to have been "the first climatology PhD in Canada."   
   As the Alberta academic Dr. Dan Johnson pointed out in a letter to the editor,   
   this wasn't even close to being the truth: Canada had minted many previous   
   climate PhDs - and, in any event, Ball's geography degree barely qualifies   
   in the relevant area of climate science.
