So why does the US army use it to both screen out recruits but to identify who should be elevated into the officer core if it's not based in science? Why is it that IQ after all these years has the best correlation with many positive r

This title is bizarre and makes no logical sense. If you accept there are climate events such as a big freeze, then how can you deny the climate changes? These rags like the guardian just seem to be yelling at the wind these days.
