I do think this comment of yours was a reasonable downvote candidate [...] Not because I think you are wrong about global warming, but because frequency of newspaper headlines seems like a bad way to infer statistical trends.

Then taking the trouble of explaining why the comment is problematic is much more helpful to the discussion than simply clicking on the thumbdown.
