Are you sure that's what is really going on here? The submitted article reports,
"The DCSD found that the defendant had committed scientific dishonesty by appearing as the sole author of an article and by including a reference which did not support the data it indicated to support."
There have been researchers in this same field who have called for better analysis of data sets, only to find that the data sets are not available.
When researchers in a controversial discipline aren't being scrupulous in their scholarly practice, maybe there really is a problem there. (I express no opinion here about Lomborg, who works in a different academic discipline.)
"The DCSD found that the defendant had committed scientific dishonesty by appearing as the sole author of an article and by including a reference which did not support the data it indicated to support"
We all know what's really going on here. It's not a coincidence that this paper is very controversial.
Many, many papers would have errors like the above but are not hunted down like this.
If they disagree with the results then they should do their own analysis rather than lowing themselves to this.
A similar thing happened to Bjørn Lomborg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B8rn_Lomborg#Accusations_...
