The UN lies? Progressives lie? Political operatives who want more power use false research to go after it? Who would have thought it?

We find that the claim is based on dubious assumptions, cherry-picked data, and mathematical legerdemain which is inexplicably being withheld from the public. The refusal to disclose the mathematical calculations used to create the 740,000 factoid is itself cause for serious suspicion; our own calculations indicate that the 740,000 figure is far too high.

Were it not for the figure 740,000. these sentences could be about the IPCC and AGW.

Them 740K deaths are from a little-known intramural sport called: WAR!!!

Idiots!

This Article carefully examines the claim. We find that the claim is based on dubious assumptions, cherry-picked data, and mathematical legerdemain which is inexplicably being withheld from the public. The refusal to disclose the mathematical calculations used to create the 740,000 factoid is itself cause for serious suspicion; our own calculations indicate that the 740,000 figure is far too high.

If they cannot (or will not) produce the original source data - all the original source data collected; the computations (equations, constants, etc.) performed; reasoning behind including or excluding certain data; and the analysis of results... Then it is not much of a "scientific report" and probably isn't worth the paper it is published on. So-called scientists or researchers that refuse to publish their data and methodology are hiding something - shoddy work, plagiarism, or intentionally misleading work.

Really, we've seen this all before with the global warming nonsense. The left will lie, distort, cheat, steal, anything to advance their agenda. They have no morals, no conscious, and believe the ends justifies the means. That is not only wrong, their "end" is a terrible state of affairs including human oppression and misery.
