Google search for "may contribute to" (with quotes) yields:
> Cartilage protein may contribute to the development of breast cancer
> Zinc deficiency may contribute to increased inflammation among HIV-positive individuals
> Neurotrophine-3 may contribute to neuronal differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells through the activation of the bone morphogenetic protein pathway.
...and thousands of others.
Do you object to all of them for being "CRAP ASS SCIENCE RESEARCH THAT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO YIELD CONCLUSIVE FALSIFIABLE RESULTS OTHER THAN X MAY CAUSE Y", or do you only object to those with political implications regarding fossil fuel industry?
