Take a look at the comments to the Guardian article, where the "skeptics" come out in force--as usual--to "prove" that this all means that the entire realm of global warming science is wrong.

What do you do? Since people refuse to read even the most accessible primary sources like www.aaas.org, and prefer to get their information from politicians and editorialists, there is simply no way to make progress. It's particularly frustrating because even in popular sources like www.slashdot.org or www.wired.com where you would think that there is at least a modicum of information, every single climate article turns into the same stupid, ill-informed, fact-free religious argument.

Conclusion: We are doomed.
