This kind of distortion is one thing that makes it so difficult for non-scientists to make sense of this debate; there are people on both sides of the issue who are spinning and twisting the data.

That is true, but what we haven’t seen much on LGF recently are posts about about the other side — the global warming catastrophists — are themselves twisting the data.

It’s all well and good to “clean house” and do a bit of self-criticism — always a good idea — but let’s not forget that the other side is doing no such thing, and outright partisan data-twisting is going on all the time, relentlessly, from the AGW catastrophists.
