I put "attack" in quotes because those are his own words. Again, I re-iterate my point, he sees them as an "attack". I do not believe people who dismiss his ideas set out to "attack" him.

You are setting a high bar for them, and that's fine. But doesn't that mean the author of this article should also meet that high bar?
He's accusing people who disagree with him as playing politics, but his article does not provide proof. In essence, he is playing politics himself.
I don't think that's fair.
You are right about the "one data point" part. This article is just another baseless data point for climate change deniers. And that's a problem.
Actually, I went back to research the article a bit more clearly. He really should not have used that wikileak email as evidence. It really discredits him more than anything:
