"All of this is based on the contention that there is a scientific "consensus" that global warming is a proven fact. But that has never been the case. Most climate scientists, if pushed, will admit that the evidence falls well short of conclusive. The real argument has been whether preventive measures should be taken in the absence of solid proof. Moreover, recent articles in Science and the New Scientist magazines report that new climate data are raising severe doubts about the whole premise of global warming."

Now your going to conduct a straw poll to tell you whose right? If you had done that in 1900 you would be arguing that heavier-than-air machines could NEVER fly, because the weight of the "experts" pronounced it as a fact. Global warming is not a fact. It is, actually, more and more doubtful.
