Ya... the author of the Forbes article is a well known climate denier and loony: James Taylor misinterprets study by 180 degrees | Climate Science Watch and this just represents a small part of his oeuvre.

It may behoove all of us to read a wide variety of news so we can try and come to a conclusion about what the real truth is as so much of what passes for news in our wonderful disruptive internet age is slanted or prejudiced or just plain nonsense.

In a way, news on the internet is a kind of Yelp review of facts: the 1's and the 5's can be discounted immediately, and the 2's, 3's and 4's need to be parsed for some hint of the actual truth.
