Ok the whole point of his article is "they did the math wrong, we did it better".

A lobby that got payed by the tobacco industry to " question the links between tobacco smoking, secondhand smoke, and lung cancer and the social costs imposed by smokers. " which i doubt is "scientific".

In 2008, the Heartland Institute published a list purporting to identify "500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares”. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the work of Jim Salinger, chief scientist at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, was "misrepresented" as part of a "denial campaign". In response to criticism, the Heartland Institute changed the title of the list to “500 Scientists Whose Research Contradicts Man-Made Global Warming Scares.” Heartland did not remove any scientist's name from the list. Avery explained, "Not all of these researchers would describe themselves as global warming skeptics...but the evidence in their studies is there for all to see.” The Institute's president, Joseph Bast, argued that the scientists "have no right—legally or ethically—to demand that their names be removed" from Heartland's list.

Also worth mentioning that the Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch..? if you don't think there's a bias here, i don't know what to do for you/
I believe scientists, you believe a (by definition biased) think tank.
