Statement of Virginia Chapter-Sierra Club Assistant Director JR Tolbert on Court's Rejection of Cuccinelli Lawsuit:
Richmond - "We applaud the court's decision to reject Attorney General Cuccinelli's frivolous lawsuit against the University of Virginia. Multiple independent investigations have proven that Professor Mann is clear of any wrong-doing".
"This case was nothing more than a witch hunt by Attorney General Cuccinelli. This administration, led by Attorney General Cuccinelli, has been waging war against science and the men and women who practice it since they took office. Rather than acknowledging a clear and present threat to our Commonwealth they have chosen to stick their heads in the sand".
"While these ploys may win political points with other climate deniers it overlooks the real threats associated with global warming. Rising sea levels in the Chesapeake Bay threaten tidewater Virginia, invasive species in trees could radically alter the Shenandoah Valley and more instances of droughts threaten Virginia's number one industry, agriculture".
"Mr. Cuccinelli calls his attack on science good for Virginians. Today, Judge Peatross did what was best for Virginia by throwing out this reckless lawsuit."
