- NeedMoreTea 8y agoWhich is link to a previous article, so adds a level of indirection. If you'd cited that in the first place, fine. Even if the complaint letter turns out to be upheld (unlikely given the history of the authors, but you never know), it doesn't affect, or even question, the conclusion of the meta study in the Guardian piece you did link to. The one that concludes climate is only a significant secondary factor. Until said letter is upheld as finding a valid flaw in the study, it's worthless. That's how science progresses. Individual studies are found accurate or wanting, further research confirms, disputes or adds precision. A few steps from the hyperbole of "flawed to the point of uselessness", as though it is already proven.
