Why doesn't the Suffolk News-Herald identify Mr. Taylor's affiliations, or his authority to declaim on this subject?
Mr. Taylor himself fails to cite any sources for his claims (scientific or otherwise), however valid, in this article; specifically, he fails to substantiate how the author of the study, Eric Steig, is a "well-known global warming alarmist".
He also fails to mention that he's made a career out of being a "climate skeptic" via his position at the Heartland Institute, described by The New York Times as "a Chicago group whose antiregulatory philosophy has long been embraced by, and financially supported by, various industries and conservative donors," and extensively funded by Exxon (see http://www.exxonsecrets.org/html/orgfact... for details).
All in all, a rather toothless and worthless rebuttal. I urge anyone reading this article to go search the web for a more credible, reputable, and comprehensive analysis before coming to any conclusions.
On Antarctic ‘warming’ a bit too convenient
