From the article: "Should we heed the warnings that more than 95% of all climate science papers report, or should we maintain course, confident that all these predictions are nothing more than statistical aberrations and gamesmanship?"
The climate change movement is a political movement, not a scientific study. Climate change advocates take any perceived change in the biosphere and create a chain of logic, no matter how contrived, to "prove" that the change is due to global warming. In fact most of the changes that are reported as proof of global warming have nothing to do with global warming and neither prove nor disprove global warming. Most of the political editorials trying to pass themselves off as scientific papers are junk science.
Another problem with the climate change political movement is they start out with the rock solid assumption that global warming is an evil thing. No consideration is given to the possibility that global warming might lead to an increase in the amount of life on this planet. Indeed there have been periods of time in the Earth's history when the Earth was significantly warmer and the total biomass was significantly larger than today. Having lived in Canada for seventeen years I have the opposite bias. I think that global warming is a good thing and it should be encouraged.
David had a sling, not a slingshot. Nebecanezzer had the patent on slingshots so David had to use the old fashioned sling on which the patent had expired.
