Still think climate change is a hoax?

Nature is a peer-reviewed journal - any glaring flaws in the methodology should have been spotted, and would have blocked publication of any of the studies. The fact that all three were published should tell you something.

Nature and Science are the sensationalist media of the science publishing world.  I know it has so-called impact factor, but they've had some major retractions lately.  Appeal to authority doesn't work well in this case.

I didn't think I was appealing to authority there - I thought I was saying that the data was (supposed to be) double-checked, and thus it wasn't an appeal to authority. I'll need to phrase such statements better next time.
