Adam, your method for determining which sources were reliable was extremely detailed. Similar to you, I came to multiple conclusions on one author. For example, author Ken Caldeira was a scientist, so even though he did not reference other specific scientist, I still found his work reliable because of his occupation. As well as Patrick Buchanan, who used inaccurate reports to show that science has been wrong, which, to me, was not enough reliable evidence to support his claim that the entire concept of global warming was a hoax. You used well thought out quotes from the author’s article to support your opinion on their reliability, great
