longnshort, I have no doubt that each of us could dredge up extremists on either end of the spectrum, but I'm a statistics guy. I want to know what the CONSENSUS is. Here's a thought experiment for you. If you are about to get heart surgery, would you go with the outlying opinion as to what procedure should be performed or how it should be performed? Or would you go with the consensus opinion of the Medical community? Most of us would go with the consensus, because it has been thoroughly peer reviewed, and as such, would have benefited from massive critical scrutiny. Same thing goes for climate research and the impact of human activity such as fossil fuel burning. I base my opinions on the consensus of the scientific community, of which there is no longer any doubt. Only extremists (outliers) or special interests are pushing a different agenda. I wouldn't bet my planet's future and the future of my grandchildren on outliers.
