"Breitbart article is bullshit" is pretty much taken as read, but letting the cited authors have a Marshall McCluhan moment ("you know nothing of my work") does hav e its own satisfaction. Too bad it won't be seen by as many people.

33k social media shares for the Breitbart article, 15.1k for Climate Feedback's debunk + 6k for Snopes' (http://www.snopes.com/scientific-papers-global-warming-myth/), not too bad...

Are we assuming shares is proportional to total viewing?
