Paltridge certainly has a point that the climate change "might" not be
drastic because of uncertainties, but the opposite is also a possibility.
...
As to the publication, I think the first criticism was that it was not a
"peer reviewed" publication, which means that it is a popular journal and
not necessarily a good source for science news. ...
CSIRO is obviously legit as a quick web search shows. Paltridge is
obviously legit also when he writes about scientific matters in his field,
but conspiracy comments are not legit.

I am shocked by this. It took a full 8 hours for someone to
handwave off Ze'ev's posting because the source of the
article was found to be a "conservative" publication. I also
found it odd that Paltrige's credentials weren't somehow
immediately challenged - after all, who's ever heard of
CSIRO? Perhaps the response was a little slow today because
many of us are out shoveling snow from our driveways.
