And this is a fine example of proof by assertion. It's a "politically trumped up" effect, for sure; we know this because Jeff Fink and Rush Limbaugh and lots of other people have said it, many times, and that proves it. Right? Of course, it's right -- if we say it three times, it's true, everybody knows that, in fact it was a well known mathematician who first documented that method of proof. And Al Gore certainly invented global warming; we know that, too, because Jeff Fink and Rush Limbaugh and others have said so, more than three times each. Funny how climate scientists had run across the problem long before "An Inconvenient Truth" came out.
