Alternate title: Grown-ups at Psychology Journal Remind Authors about Defamation Laws.
To be clear this paper has nothing to do with climate science, it is entirely about marginalizing people with whom they disagree.

Also, I'm not sure how defamation laws would come into play. By all accounts listed, the scientific basis behind the paper was sound, so no libel or falsehoods to speak of. It seems more likely that the potential costs of defending against legal action is enough of a threat to warrant the removal of an academic paper.
Thus I feel the need to comment your post: Frontiers recognised the scientific value of this paper, but had to retract it because of persons like you, that only know censoring the others when it comes to discuss ideas. Science cannot go forward with that kind of attitude.
