Scientific illiterates are the crowd YOU are looking for - they accept the gospel of the new green religion without asking awkward question about just how anybody claims to differentiate anthropogenic greenhouse warming from non-anthropogenic greenhouse warming from other natural climate variation.

As Michael Crichton has noted, once you start looking at the arguments, you find out that science is a whole lot less settled than the proponents claim. Al Gore says the Antarctic is melting. Climatologists agree 2% of the Antacrtic is melting but cannot agree whether the other 98% is getting warmer or colder.

Which is why the proponents are pushing "post-normal science".

If they had proof, they would show the proof. They only need "post-normal science" because as Mike Hulme says (he's one of your guys, remember?), "uncertainties are large".

Has anybody yet come up with a model of greenhouse warming that includes cloud formation? yes or no? All I hear is attacking the messenger, whenever this question is asked.
