We had a Stanford biologist over for dinner the other night (we live in silicon valley and my husband we both have lots of connections with Stanford), who has published several peer papers on climate-change effects on agriculture in temperate zones. He seemed pretty persuasive to me. In fact, Stanford scientific faculty has done a lot of work in this area. Are the Stanford faculty all liars? Did your friend write anything about changes that have actually occurred, anywhere? Or is it all hypothetical theorizing about the terrible disaster that will befall when global warming comes to pass? From the review, it was the second: and it worked great! he got into the paper! The word for this is not so much "lying" as "place seeking". That which is rewarded gets done more often. Surprise! Papers like this are designed to increase the public perception of global warming, while in fact containing no scientific data to support it at all. BTW, Bjorn Lomberg calculates that since more people die of cold than of heat, a rise of couple of degrees C would net-net be a benefit to humanity.
