[MD] Global Warming: Science or Politics?

[Case]

Platt,

You are correct I should have inserted something like "the journals..." I
thought this was clear from the context of the sentence but it never pays to
overestimate the audience, as you say.

Quoting craigerb at comcast.net:

Neither. I'm saying that someone who writes Nature and assumes the reader
will
know the word refers to a magazine is out of touch with his readers. Same
with
the word Science. Both are terms that commonly refer to atoms, animals,
jungles,
mountains and the like (Nature) and a method of investigating how things are
got together to create the world we see (Science). The writer could have
easily
denoted his meaning by simply saying "the magazines "Nature" and "Science."
