Very sad. Are "climate scientists" a protected species? Unable to withstand criticism or debate? CIS fellow Nick Cater (whose Wiki page is longer than Steffen's) is not a notable person?
The original article was written by Will Steffen, which was linked. As were two articles ripping apart his ridiculous methodology. This isn't notable?
