That's silly.  No "proof" is implied in distributing the article. It's just

interesting that the science is getting out.



The science "proves" the fact, except to those who do not use (or ignore)

the science for their self-serving "policies."



(And the author isn't just another writer or "journalist.")



And "science" is done by "piling on."  That's called variously:  "the weight

of the evidence," "confirmation," "scientific consensus," etc., etc.  :-)
