Same 'ol song and dance.
Those exposing the truth about AGW are taken out by any means possible.
I find it's usually with facts.

Here is the judges decision in detail:He still has no job. His career is a bit...embarrassing.
Climate Change: The Next Generation: Climate change critic Murry Salby loses case against Macquarie University
$360 trillion dollars are what they hope to forcibly collect from the people on this planet? I sure hope that is a misquote! :scared: :beam:
I was surprised even Judith Curry would post such easily refuted blatantly false claims from Murry Salby. Luckily, she has now posted an article showing how Salby's claims are completely wrong.

Here is the judges decision in detail:
Salby v Macquarie University & Anor [2016] FCCA 3 (22 February 2016)
The guy misused funds, disregarded Macquarie University's Policies, took off on a 5 week holiday in the middle of teaching term without authorization, used a University credit card to pay for his unauthorised trip, didn't do what he was employed to do, then whined when they gave him the boot. Macquarie Uni should have done a better job vetting him as he was under investigation with the University of Colorado who had previously employed him and was barred by the National Science Foundation for "Deceptive Conduct". Unfortunately for Macquarie Uni, the investigation hadn't been completed before Salby left the US and took the position in Australia.

"We conclude that the Subject (Dr Salby) has engaged in a long-running course of deceptive conduct involving both his University and NSF. His conduct reflects a consistent willingness to violate rules and regulations, whether federal or local, for his personal benefit. This supports a finding that the Subject is not presently responsible, and we recommend that he be debarred for five years."
What a hero. :shock:

Truly fascinating that Jack would post that blog article from Curry's blog about Murry Salby again. Especially without the follow up blog article on Curry's blog the next day showing how Salby's claims were completely wrong.
He's not a hero; he's a victim. And btw, the "5 week holiday" was a series of invited presentations of his work, with travel paid by Macquarie U.
It’s an Unsettling Climate for skeptical scientists like Murry Salby
UPDATED: The full text is now available at City Journal. Rupert Darwall is the author of Age of Global Warming (and earning excellent reviews). Darwall has a gift for converting tricky scientific concepts into a story. This month in the City Journal, he beautifully summarizes and updates the story of Murry Salby. He’s interviewed Richard Lindzen and others, and discusses Salby’s work in the context of the way heretics are marginalized. . . .
In April 2013, concluding a European tour to present his research, Salby arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris for a flight back to Australia, where he was a professor of climate science at Macquarie University. He discovered, to his dismay, that the university had canceled the return leg of his nonrefundable ticket. With Salby stranded, Macquarie then undertook misconduct proceedings against him that swiftly culminated in his dismissal.
I wrote about this extraordinary incident in July last year and asked Did Macquarie University sabotage, exile, blackban, strand and abandon Murry Salby?
Rupert Darwall describes Salby’s distinguished history involving work at Georgia Tech, Princeton, Hebrew, and Stockholm Universities before coming to the University of Colorado. He talks of how Salby’s work on ozone validated the science behind the 1987 Montreal Protocol.When Salby wrote a graduate textbook,it was described as “unequalled in breadth, depth and lucidity,” by one reviewer. Later Salby started to examine man-made global warming but ‘what he found left him “absolutely surprised.” ‘
Salby’s recent work is so controversial because it questions the key IPCC assumption, that man-made CO2 emissions cause global levels of CO2 to rise. As I described it way back in 2011:Over the last two years he has been looking at C12 and C13 ratios and CO2 levels around the world, and has come to the conclusion that man-made emissions have only a small effect on global CO2 levels. It’s not just that man-made emissions don’t control the climate, they don’t even control global CO2 levels.Salby’s trip to Europe was to present and discuss exactly this point — is humankind to blame for the CO2 levels rising, or was it a warming ocean and soil moisture changes?
In Salby’s view, the evidence actually suggests that the causality underlying AGW should be reversed. Rather than increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere triggering global temperatures to rise, rising global temperatures come first—and account for the great majority of changes in net emissions of CO2, with changes in soil-moisture conditions explaining most of the rest.
Blog post from a biased denier vs. legal ruling.
I think I'll go with the legal ruling.
Now remember, this is just one tiny bit of the Gish gallop we saw a long time ago, which has now shown that one of the 'pieces of evidence' of AGW being fake has been manufactured by a discredited fraud.
The matter is concluded.
Withdraw if you wish.
