Several scientists in the report said many colleagues share their skepticism about man-made climate change but don't speak out publicly for fear of retribution, according to the report.

This article is a direct extract from Sen Inhofe's 2007 report to the senate. It has the credibility of a senator on the payroll of big oil.

As a policy matter, one has to be less willing to take extreme actions when data are highly uncertain."

Interesting that the we did'nt take this tack on the reasons to invade iraq, a far less consequential matter, while we have all this caution with GW, potentially a far more destructive event.

First, this guys is lawyer...second he does not dispute global warming at all. In his testimony to the senate, he refers to it as an undeniable trend, in it he is more concerned with actions to reduce greenhouse gases (indisputably a good endeavor to pursue), as an effective tool to abate it. Imagine an EPA character that equivocates on reduction of green house gases. The fox is guarding the hen house.
