> Thus scientists are "grumpy" that the study is shoddy. Climate scientists have a consolidated tradition of being made grumpy by any scientific paper downplaying human responsibility for global warming. I can understand their concerns about shoddy science preventing us from acting quickly to contrast climate change; at the same time there is a clear pattern of much tighter scrutiny for results pointing in one direction rather than the other; and while this might be in the best interest of humanity, I don't think it is in the best interest of science.
