In any case, you'll have to note that my criticism was mainly centered on the usage of fringe crazies for some of his sources(McPherson & Wasdell in particular), and as well as outlier-type scenarios being falsely presented as "conservative" no way are we going to plausibly reach 3.5*C by 2035 or even 5*C by 2050, even under the worst possible scenarios; and yes, this even assumes that the all the worst possible feedbacks occur, and in the shortest possible terms at that).....and this isn't so much directed at the faulty researchers themselves, whomever they may be, but rather, at those people who take these extreme predictions, and pass them off as the Gospels, or whatever.
In short, this Jamail fellow didn't do very good job at finding quality research. Half-assed effort at a half-assed article.....
