It’d be interesting to know how much of this is sheer speculation. 99%? 100%?
The nice thing about theorizing like this is that you will never be disproven in your own lifetime.

In terms of probability, very little of it.....probably only the liquid water part...and to bring up the word "habitable" is a little goofy, but that's probably the author.But even that isn't far-fetched.

It’d be interesting to know how much of this is sheer speculation. 99%? 100%? Dan, I'd give you credit for either answer. On the Umbagi Scale of Speculatory Pseudoscience Reporting, even a single unquoted exclamation point earns a 99, but the frank admission, in the last paragraph, of wearing red dwarf-colored glasses should earn that last bonus point...

I'd say 100%.
?Moreover, its radius should be only 1.5 times the Earth s radius, and models predict that the planet should be either rocky like our Earth or covered with oceans,? he said."
Is these the same "scientists" using the same computer models that predict Global Warming?
Yep! Sure looks like it!

you will never be disproven in your own lifetime Telescopes capable of analyzing planets like this, earthlike, are nearing launch. This and hundreds more will be analyzed for proper atmosphere as well as the presence of life within a decade.
