Misrepresentation from Lindzen

Richard Lindzen is a very special character in the climate debate – very smart, high profile, and with a solid background in atmospheric dynamics. He has, in times past, raised interesting critiques of the mainstream science. None of them, however, have stood the test of time – but exploring the issues was useful. More recently though, and especially in his more public outings, he spends most of his time misrepresenting the science and is a master at leading people to believe things that are not true without him ever saying them explicitly.

Eric Steig get's cute with and libels Steve McIntyre first comment out of the gate.

He says; "...Calls for 'policing' of science through the legal system is McCarthyism (McInytireism if you prefer), and we should not be condoning it."

I remember Mac distinctly, in very plain language, condemning the Virginian AG's fishing expedition against Mann. The reason I remember is because I totally disagreed with it.
