Contest - Steele's "What do you know about global warming?" quiz post

Local contrarian Russ Steele has a blog post up plugging a "What do you know about global warming?" quiz.

I went through the first few questions, and there's a hole in its logic that you can drive a Prius through.

Can you spot it? First person to do so gets a free coffee (from me) at Java John's.

(to make this one easy, here's a hint)

A window into Russ Steele's comment moderation on this issue:

I made a comment at his blogpost, replying to another local contrarian. Part of my comment survived Mr. Steele's moderation, but the following part did not:
===
(Reminder Greg, explication request over at Pelline's - link)
(please answer there)
(though "please" does translate to "no way in hell will I", for some...)
===
(it was replaced with "Snip, we are not here to promote Jeff P's web site.")

(and my subsequent comments on that thread, replying to commenters, have not appeared; though since Steele's blog is on Typepad, which reputedly has an insidious comment-eating bug, it's hard to tell a deliberate thumbs-down from an automated one.)

I saw that the first question agreed that Global Warming was a real phenomena, so I figured I didn't need to read any more.

Likewise, a comment I left there (link) saying that comments I'd left there haven't appeared, did not appear.
