If they get one dude to strap on the title of "scientist" that's all they need. Ironic, really. It takes thousands of scientists, and some of these folks refuse to even cut evolution a break, but bring up a handful willing to go against climate change and all of a sudden they're all ears. Which is the point. Scientific method isn't about what you believe, it's about what you can prove. This picking and choosing crap doesn't fly. In climate change, sure, there might be some dissent somewhere, but the overwhelming data points towards CC happening, and humans playing a role in it. Don’t even bother, Roy.

Impressive. The last IPCC report was based on 29 000 data SETS i.e. was one of the most thoroughly researched and documented studies ever done. Wow, one paper. Impressive.

Douglass (Univ. of Rochester), Prof. John R. Christy (Univ. of Alabama), Benjamin D. Pearson (graduate student), and Prof. S. Fred Singer (Univ. of Virginia). I thought the debate was over. Looks like we're going to have to live with it. Climate warming is naturally caused and shows no human influence by Prof. David H. Douglass (Univ. of Rochester), Prof. John R.
