World-renowned Canadian climatologist, Dr. Tim Ball, 84, who was a leading skeptic of the ‘catastrophic’ man-made warming narrative has died peacefully while at home with family members in British Columbia.
Dr. Ball, who was one of the co-founders of Principia Scientific International had won an astonishing legal victory in 2019 defending a multi-million-dollar libel suit filed against him by notorious climate alarmist, Dr. Michael E Mann.
Despite the court awarding damages to Ball estimated to be in access of millions, the dishonorable Mann never paid a dime. [bold, links added]
The following announcement of the passing of one of the most significant climate skeptics of our day was made by Tim’s son, David, who shared with us the following:
At Tim’s request there will be no public service.
Our family will gather privately to celebrate Tim’s life together in the beautiful home he built with his wife, at the table where we had the blessing to have shared many meals together. One of Tim’s great joys was sitting back to watch his family talk, laugh & enjoy each other’s company. We will raise our glasses to toast the incredible man we all deeply love.
In Lieu of flowers or gifts the family requests that you join them in raising a glass in honor of Tim.
During this difficult time, we ask that all communications be directed to: generalistjournal@gmail.com
Thank you,
The Ball Family
Naturally, Tim will be hugely missed by us all at Principia Scientific, Intl. He was an astonishing servant of truth and transparency in climate research at a time when government-funded science had never been so widely mistrusted.
Tim was such an inspiration to so many of us and I am deeply honored to have coauthored with him the groundbreaking book ‘Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory,’ which remains the most comprehensive full-volume rebuttal of the fake science behind a trillion-dollar fraud vilifying human emissions of carbon dioxide.
I was fortunate to befriend Tim in 2009 when he so selflessly gave me guidance and advice in my research about the supposed greenhouse gas theory.
We stood by each other all through the tumultuous eight-year legal battle despite the best efforts of our enemies to undermine us.
Dr. Ball was such a charming, avuncular and self-deprecating manner that he too often was never given full credit for the important role he played for 30 years in the scientific debate about climate change.
RIP, Tim you are a legend.

The video below was originally recorded on 13th November 2016 and previously uploaded. In honor of the passing of Tim Ball, we have cleaned up the audio so that his presentation, which has not aged at all, is not distracted by the background noise Tim had to contend with on the night.

Dr. Tim Ball was there from the beginning, when the “Greenhouse Effect” became fraud. “Global Warming” morphed into “Climate Change” and Dr. Ball persevered while the Warmists profitted.
If Diogenes and Dr. Ball should meet, I’d like to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
Dr Tim Ball was one of the best lecturers on Global Warming TRUTH. Having listened to his talks one is left wondering how in Gods name can this scam continue. He plotted the history of the origins of the hoax and explained the SCIENCE of why it’s WRONG. Thanks Dr Tim.
May he rest in peace.
I just read Wikipedia’s page on Dr. Tim Ball. I hope that someone with the needed credentials goes there and cleans up that smear piece, and brings the Wikipedia commie – unity down several pegs.
