Re: "Global Warning is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people"

Same song, second verse. A little bit louder and a little bit worse."

One problem - certainly not the only one - with Gray's claims can be seen in the following paragraph of the story."

"Gray believes in the obs. The observations. Direct measurements. Numerical models can't be trusted. Equation pushers with fancy computers aren't the equals of scientists who fly into hurricanes."

Notebooks full of "direct measurements" in themselves are not adequate for good science. Both observational data and theories are needed, & with something as complex as the earth's weather system computer modelling is an essential part of theorizing. The fact that the writer has to ridicule theorists as "equation pushers with fancy computers" shows both a lack of understanding of how science works and an attempt to bias the reader.
