There's a great conversation to be had with regards to my blithering idiot comment btw, but it'd be a massive derail. Researchers in any given field are very fond of demonstrating why their field is relevant to hot topic issues. There are a lot of very good reasons they do this, but they are not always entirely accurate in their enthusiasm. Perhaps I was unkind to the researcher in question, perhaps I should have said
"correlation does not prove causation"
On the other hand, if i can sit here -not a biologist-, -not a climate expert- and criticize the statement on those grounds I suppose they would qualify for the "blithering idiot" title. For all the right reasons, I'm sure (no sarcasm implied, I really mean that).
