Oreskes showed several years ago that there was a consensus, and Schultz, even despite his flawed methodology, couldn't even act to counter this. The National Academies of 21 nations have signed statements endorsing the IPCC view as the scientific consensus on climate change. So too has the AAAS, AMS, UCS, NOAA, NCR, AGU, ACS, NCAR, AASC, USGS, NCS... the list goes on and on.

CONsensus or peer pressure and yes they and you do go on and on defending the indefensible

So you're taking a single anomalous yea - hell, not even a year, a season! - and claiming that as evidence of global cooling?
Despite the fact that even since 1998 there has been a warming trend?

The facts show for longer then a year and you can pick and choose your anomalies to fit your theory - I'm sure you've heard of lies, damned lies and statistics

Well, aside from the decrease in general solar activity over the past four decades (quite an odd contrast to the temperature record, which has broadly followed it with only a small time lag for many centuries), lack of a discernible trend in the cosmic ray record (even assuming that something so discredited can be assumed to have an effect on climate) and lack of any noticeable shift in other natural forcings...
Unless you can come up with a counter?

Amazing how gullible people can be

I now summarise an old cliche thusly: 'quack!'
I imagine you can work out what it means.

Talks like an ID10T probably is an ID10T

I assume you mean the benefits of climate change and increased atmospheric CO2 offset the problems caused by climate change?
And can you show that there is no problem?

climate changes down as well as up and presents opportunities NOT problems

Climate models are universally admitted to be nowhere near perfect, and it is accepted that we do not have a decent enough understanding of the climate to make perfectly accurate predictions. Reading the article not only gives me the impression that the disagreement is quite reasonable given this, but also that global warming does still appear to be going, regardless of whether the models make mistakes in their predictions.

absolutely nowhere near perfect and yet you and others when given evidence to the contrary still prefer to believe it - doh
