Yeah, looks like another scientist-turned-politician writing for an
organization whose purpose in this world is to cheer a certain ilk
and trash another. Science (or credentials) be damned. If, as is
persuasively summarized (I don't know the details myself), the
science is good, you should be quite sure, Jim, that it didn't really
enter into the purpose of writing the piece - it just happened to fit
an agenda.
