[Mann] The article's online headline claims I "argue" that fossil-fuel burning is driving climate change. But communicating scientific facts is not arguing. Every national academy of science in the world, including our own, agrees that climate change is due to increased fossil fuel use. Only politicians and ideologues want to argue about basic, established science.
Ms. Jolis repeats criticisms of research I conducted that showed modern-day temperatures are unusually high ("the hockey stick"). My book explains that research, its critics and independent studies that have since validated and extended its original findings. But Ms. Jolis tries to dismiss these scientific discussions as "score-settling" and "sound bites."
