Consider the source. Climate Progress.org is a projet of the Center for American Progress, headed by John Podesta, self-described as "progressive" and setup expressly to counter groups such as the Heritage Foundation. No bias here.
Phew, glad I don't have to worry about any of the actual arguments or evidence then!
[Edit]
On second thoughts, sorry, too glib. I try to be a bit more thoughtful for the HN. The point I was getting at is that there's verifiable facts, data and arguments in the post. It would be a much more interesting discussion, one I could learn from, if people would tackle those.
I'd also just read Julian Sanchez's piece on what he calls the 'oppositional morality' cognitive bias, the tendency to disbelieve evidence that The Others are using to push their conclusions:

CAP is hardly progressive. I'd say it's accurately socially-permissive centrist with a neo-imperialist bent. Remember: this is the same think tank that stood right behind the Republicans in the run-up to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. When Iraq turned into a quagmire their tune changed. They still haven't given up hope on Afghanistan, but I imagine their view will change in the unlikely event Obama decides to go with Biden over McCrystal.
