"Global warming alarmists are fond of invoking the authority of experts against the skepticism of supposedly amateur detractors -- a.k.a. "deniers." So when one of those experts says that [Annan's] recent report on the effects of climate change is "worse than fiction, it is a lie," the alarmists should, well, be alarmed.
Roger Pielke, Jr., an expert in disaster trends at the University of Colorado calls the report a "methodological embarrassment" and a "poster child for how to lie with statistics" that "does a disservice" to those who take climate change issues seriously."
The Wall Street Journal asks: "If the case for global warming is so open and shut, why the need for a report as disingenuous as Mr. Annan's?"
