LOL. yes, that's so true. however, on your last sentence, I do think Pascal's Wager is sufficient, because the dogmatism is irrelevant to it's point...namely, if the potential benefits of believing are so huge and the costs minimal, as well as the potential losses for not believing essentially infinite, whereas the benefits of not believing are finite, then Pascal's conclusion is that a rational person would believe given this scenario. I think it is perfectly suited to this debate about AGW.
