Jeez, just in the first three paragraphs Alan Leshner violates every principle the scientific method requires for an idea to be CONSIDERED for evaluation, let alone theory or repeatable proof by proper experimental test. Plus he throws in a straw man credibility test.
Confabulation.
Coincidence proves cause and effect. Not.
Coincidence disproves reversed cause and effect. Not
Demonization.
Ridicule.
Alan Leshner brilliantly deploys the tools of the scientific method.

Alan Leshner is a monkey-runner psychology professor who has no more expertise in climate than the kid who wants to sell you a McLatte at the drive through.

You saved me a few mins in response. In homeschooling my daughter I made sure to teach her debate techniques and fallacies and this guy utilizes a whole list of them. Either he's an idiot, exceedingly dishonest or both.
