And real scientists say things like "I think" and "it seems likely" and even "perhaps." Um. It's true that most scientific literature is carefully hedged and honest about uncertainly. But the one alleged scientist you've cited, in john-daly.com doesn't sound exactly "real" under your view. He concludes: The basis of most of the IPCC conclusions on anthropogenic causes and on projections of climatic change is the assumption of low level of CO2 in the pre-industrial atmosphere. This assumption, based on glaciological studies, is false. Therefore IPCC projections should not be used for national and global economic planning. The climatically inefficient and economically disastrous Kyoto Protocol, based on IPCC projections, was correctly defined by President George W. Bush as "fatally flawed". This criticism was recently followed by the President of Russia Vladimir V. Putin. I hope that their rational views might save the world from enormous damage that could be induced by implementing recommendations based on distorted science. No "likely" or "perhaps" in that conclusion. I couldn't accuse him of having a hidden agenda, though, he's pretty upfront about it.
