It's true that there is a lot of attribution to GW going on. It's anchoring at its worst. However, the underlying science of GW is sound.

Doesn't look very sound to me. If it were the proponents wouldn't have to be throwing away raw data, hiding things and rigging the peer review process. People hide things when they have something to hide.

Personally I think 20 years from now, AGW will be history and the present proponents will be trying to hide their past positions ... like John Holdren:

And James Hansen, who now runs NASA GISS:

Investor's Business Daily reports that a 1971 Washington Post scare piece entitled "U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming" fretted that burning fossil fuels discharges particles into the atmosphere that reflect the sun's rays back into space. Emissions over 5–10 years supposedly "could be sufficient to trigger an ice age."

The NASA research behind this hysteria was supported by a "computer program developed by Dr. James Hansen,"
the same guy who now refers to those who won't drink the global warming Kool-Aid as "court jesters."
