Default Contrarian GW papers: Common mistakes.

Mark Steyn:

A *self-described* "right-wing warmonger".

Any background in climate science? Any college education? Hm.

Described by the Boston Phoenix as "the most toxic right-wing pundit you've never heard of" with ""a shrill, mocking tone of moral certainty that consigns those who disagree with him to the status of appeasers or even terrorists; and a willingness to distort, misrepresent, and omit facts in order to advance his argument."

And from his own mouth: "Now I don't consider myself a big credentialed expert or anything. I simply looked at a graph Michael E Mann hadn't been anywhere near and drew the obvious conclusion. Gave it two minutes' thought, if that."

Two minutes thought, if that.



Stephen.
