LETTERS: BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S SO DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE

To the editor:

The global-warming controversy isn't difficult to unscramble. Who is more likely to be telling the truth: the majority of credible scientists -- including the majority of Nobel laureates and the national academy of science -- or a handful of so-called scientists working for the petroleum industry? It may come as a shock to some Missourian readers, but just because a famous talk-show host and his opportunistic brother say something is true doesn't actually make it so.
