“Perhaps you did not notice that the Breitbart headline was not a direct quote from Sellers? Did you see quotation marks? No misleading at all. Please stop with the pedantry.”

Perhaps I did not explain it well enough. I am not accusing Sellers of being misleading, it’s Breitbart’s headline I have a problem with. Sellers was honest, Breitbart took the story and created a hyped headline designed to increase views and lead people to think some idiot blames his cancer on G.W. That is not some trivial detail, its purposely disingenuous.

Sellers honest? The man pushes “computer models” multiple times in his op-ed; one would presume that honesty would be a priority for a sick man.

I would say Breitbart got the headline just right. Sellers using his cancer as a pity platform to preach AGW is tantamount to his blaming the alleged phenomenon on his cancer (not for it, which is what the headline did not say). “Cancer and Climate Change” as a title is more than merely disingenuous.
