What offended you? The term “Global Warmist”? It’s an accurate description of people who hold that climate change is 
causing more frequent and severe weather, due to heating of the atmosphere. 

And your argument about “Forbes for something related to science” fails on the classic logical fallacy “appeal to 
authority”. Just because Forbes states easily verifiable public facts doesn’t make them untrustworthy. Scientific 
knowledge is best established by evidence and experiment rather than argued through authority by “consensus”. Science 
is not a consensus enterprise.
