Problem is, the author of the article, Australian Michael Duffy, is not some objective journalist, an outsider searching for the truth. He has long been a denier of the human impact of global warming and been criticized more than once, for being a little too liberal with the handling of his sources (he generally declares his sources as independent scientists and forgets to mention their links with big - mining - companies who naturally have an interest in this position on global warming).
