Climate scientist's lawsuit could wipe out the wingnut National Review magazine

The National Review magazine, longstanding house news organ of the lunatic fringe, is facing a lawsuit that could shutter the publication permanently. According to The Week, a suit by a climate scientist threatens to bankrupt the already financially shaky publication and its website, the National Review Online (NRO)..

Scientist Michael Mann is suing the Review over statements made by Canadian wingnut polemicist and occasional radio stand-in for Lush Dimbulb, Mark Steyn. Steyn was writing on the topic of climate change when he accused Mann of falsifying data and perpetuating intellectual fraud through his research.
.
Steyn went on to quote paid anti-climate science operative Rand Simberg - an employee of the wingnut hate group the Competitive Enterprise Institute - who compared Mann to Penn State's convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky.
