It's an example of being mislead by non-scientific thinking that often works well. However, those who presume to have an opinion on this subject, like climate skeptics, get no free pass. And it should go without saying that lobbyists and policy makers must be held strictly accountable for this mistake. It is evidence of the worst kind of incompetence.
