Of course he pales next to that brilliant scientist and champion of the left, AlGore. | Why is it all of these lists propaganda groups put out that supposedly have hundreds or thousands of scientists questioning AGW always get debunked, and in many cases the scientists on the list petition to be removed once they find out what they are listed as supporting?
After all, another "luminary" of the anti-science right, Frederick Seitz, who put together the supposed list of thousands of skeptics was deemed "Not Sufficiently Rational" when he tried to get a gig advising the tobacco industry back in the 90s. Fred Seitz
The fact is, the majority of scientists who have actually published work on this issue accept AGW theory. Sure, there are dissenters as there always is with any emerging science. Maybe we will all luck out and the minority who are skeptics will end up being right, but as it is, they are in the minority, and from the looks of it, its a shrinking minority.

You are going to have to prove that statement, but you knew it was false when you typed it. Quote: |

| The skeptics are already being proved correct. The US has seen temperatures far below normal this year and the global temperatures have been dropping since 2002, or before according to some. |

However, many do, and many that are on the list have not expertise in climate at all. Are there scientists with expertise in climate that disagree with AGW theory, yeah of course there is, but not thousands of them. Quote: |

| One year below normal proves nothing. Just like one year above normal proves nothing. As to Global Temps dropping since 2002, your right, according to some....
Now, don't get me wrong, I would love for the skeptics to be proven right about this. However, for them to be proven right, virtually everything we know about thermal physics would have to be wrong. |

There are only a few hundred true climate scientists in the entire world. Quote: |

| Actually, we would be much better off if the climate warmed a few degrees... much better than if it cooled a few degrees which is what many are now predicting.
Actually, everything we know about thermal physics would have to be wrong to accept greenhouse theory.
