Since the article doesn't explain how the sphere is split, we'd better describe it as a '''claim''' made by certain parties, much as the claim made by [[AGW]] supporters that their [[global climate model]]s explain or predict anything.

Since the article doesn't explain how the sphere is split, we'd better describe it as a claim made by certain parties, much as the claim made by AGW supporters that their global climate models explain or predict anything.
