Not only that, but this finally proves once and for all we need to invest billions more in settled anthropogenic global warming or cooling pseudo-science and shut down more industries to protect mother earth.

Modern low-information society is all too willing to believe any pseudo-science BS that is published anywhere. Critical thinking and analytical skills, including the ability to even do a Google search, is beyond the ability of most.
