I am fully on board with AGW (or Climate Change or whatever you want to call it) but threads like this one make it easier for skeptics to remain skeptical. BG made the post because it confirmed his biases and didn’t spend an ounce of rationality when reading it. GIGO, I appreciate your zeal on the subject but defending the OP in any form decimates your credibility.

I think the original study is stupidly flawed and borderline disengenuous. That doesn’t, however, make a dent in the science behind climate change.
