He wasn't THE lead author, he was one of ten lead authors (and around 70 contributing authors) of a single chapter (of which there are 14) of the IPCC's third assessment report. Close to a thousand climate scientists worked to author/edit that report, more than a hundred of whom are listed as lead authors of the various chapters. And this report is just one of four sections of the third climate assessment.
The report clearly states within its summary for policymakers that climate change is happening and is a result of human activity. You won't find many of the contributors, besides Lindzen, who deny that.
Lindzen's chapter does discuss difficulties with accurate modeling of some indicators of climate change, but that report is nearly two decades old, and you'll find in more recent reports that most of these uncertainties no longer exist and that, in many cases, older models underestimated the rate at which climate change is occurring and its relationship to human activity.
Lindzen's view has been denounced by the majority of his former (he's been retired for years) faculty at MIT (note K. Emanuel on this list, who also worked on Lindzen's chapter of the third assessment, and has continued to work on subsequent IPCC reports). Lindzen has also accepted money from a major climate-change-denying coal company.
So who is shamefully dishonest here again? But well done for citing a 2UE radio host's blog and then claiming others have weak arguments! Classic Sanders!
I don't visit here much at all anymore, but I haven't forgotten you. Somehow, I'm not even slightly surprised that you're a climate-crisis denier.
You don’t visit because of the weakness of your arguments. Nothing more
