"I think we should try to look into the reasonableness of the claims and arguments and not defer everything to people who are or claim to be experts. And that's a general rule. It certainly applies to climate science."

But in areas that demand expertise we generally defer to experts or dueling experts (trials). Here we have 97 experts on one side and 3 on the other (roughly out of any 100 scientists)--so unless you (and I) are experts ourselves and can evaluate which side has the the better case what is the most reasonable course of action ( for a question of apparent global import)?
