This common trait might suggest to a cynic that the prophets of catastrophe might be advocates for those policy recommendations. And that, therefore, they have a higher burden of proof when demonstrating *why* the science demands such policy changes. And Nurse's failure to grasp even the most basic statistical and methodological errors in those whose work he defends makes his opinion suspect on *all* aspects of the policy.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371545561820304882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172766774137902766.post-80364627938957095892013-07-17T13:30:56.095+01:002013-07-17T13:30:56.095+01:00Well said.
