I am quite familiar with McPherson, and agree with you that any disagreement with him should be based on a challenge to the evidence upon which he bases his conclusions. <br /><br />In fact, I DON'T challenge McPherson's evidence, and the comparison I made said the Arctic News' article was better precisely because it cited to evidence. The article referencing McPherson (which was not By McPherson) just listed his assertions. <br /><br />In order to make it a bit clearer that my comment was directed at the article I referenced, and not to McPherson himself, I modified the statement in my blog posting. I appreciate your assistance in spotlighting some language that could be misinterpreted. Gary A.

It would be better to challenge the evidence, than target McPherson. <br /><br />He writes, "in the words of John W. Farley: “The scientific case is not dependent on citation of authority, no matter how distinguished the authority may be. The case is dependent upon experimental evidence, logic, and reason.” In other words, stop targeting the messenger.""<br /><br />https://guymcpherson.com/climate-chaos/climate-change-summary-and-update/Maenadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610159133154674393noreply@blogger.com
