The reality is that the so-called "climate scientists" have been trying to prosecute their critics. Michael Mann filed a lawsuit against Mark Steyn for ridiculing his AGW claims.
Don't lie. Steyn didn't just criticize science. He repeatedly called Dr. Mann a fraud, will the full knowledge he was lying about that, and repeatedly compared Dr. Mann to a child molester. That's libel.
He called Mann's hockey stick graph a fraud, which it clearly is. Various investigations have shown that the "statistical method" used to construct it will produce a hockey stick even if white noise is used for input data. They Hockey stick has been dissected 100 different ways, and they all show it to be a fraud.
In the case, Mann wants the court to grant him the right of discovery with regard to Steyn's papers and effects, but wants the court to deny Steyn the right of discovery to Mann's papers and effects. If that doesn't scream "fraud," I don't know what does.
Plaintiff opposes the motion to stay discovery and argues that, at a minimum, the court should permit him to proceed with discovery against Defendant Steyn... Beyond that, Plaintiff takes the ironic – albeit legally correct – position that he should be able to proceed with discovery against Steyn, but Steyn should be precluded from taking discovery on his counterclaim because Plaintiff's anti-SLAPP special motion to dismiss the counterclaim triggers an automatic statutory stay.
Steyn accused Mann of "molesting the data." To equate that with accusing him of being a child molester is a deliberate smear of Mark Steyn. It also shows a profound lack of a sense of humor.

I haven't heard that particular conspiracy theory before. Can you point out where I can read about it?

It's hilarious watching douche bags like you acting like you're some kind of persecuted class.
I've recently received three death threats here, all from hardcore Trump-fans/deniers (same group, always). And no denier was willing to condemn the people making those death threats.
All the violence and censorship is on your side. If you're not making the threats, you're standing silent while your fellows make them, and thus you're enabling them.
I've received some threats myself, and as we've seen in the news, all claims about Trump supporters threatening Hillary supporters have turned out to be fake. Trump supporters have been the targets of threats far more often than any credible threats against Trump opponents.
