Ah, the forum/newsletter article by Christopher Monckton. Note that
it is not a (peer-reviewed) scientific paper but is rather a forum
posting. There is nothing wrong with making forum postings, they are
a way of putting across one's ideas to others, but one should check
a posting carefully before relying on it.


Check?


Check. Checking can be done in a variety of ways but one way is to
see what others have said about the article being checked. In this
and other ways one may form an opinion on the veracity of the
article being checked.
