Also, it uses the Hippocratic Method of ASKING a question, instead of stating a lot of facts.

Would you believe that ...
Do you believe that ...

My example:

Did you know that NOAA edited the temperature data? <sources>

Do you realize they only ever increase/decrease the numbers according to the CO2 levels? <sources>

Btw, there is an article about it: 100% Of US Warming Is Due To NOAA Data Tampering

So I find the article interesting in that asking questions, and asking the least challenging question first might be more engaging...

But even more important. It may also remind you how people try to manipulate you. By finding common ground first (like a sales person), building rapport, and then selling to your needs.

Great article.
