From a reader:

Subject: Ellen Goodman on global warming
Mr. Goldberg,
If you’re looking for another whack at the pinata, consider the following
gem: “The certainty of the human role is now somewhere over 90 percent.
Which is about as certain as scientists ever get.” This should be news to
anyone with high school biology, chemistry, or physics under their belt.
