I constantly wonder where this opinion that "the science is settled" is coming from? The 2500 "signatories" to the IPCC report on climate change? (signatories is in quotations because they are not signatories to the contents, merely reviewers, whose opinions may or may not have been included in the final document).
This article (
http://network.nationalpost.com/np/b...0-deniers.aspx) claims to have a petition of 32,000 credentialed scientists who disagree with the opinion of climate change being the result of human activities. 9000 of the people who signed this have PhDs.
I'm not going to bother to present any of the arguments now. I'm just trying to point out that, like all issues, there are two sides to this one and there is still room for debate. It seems to me, though, that to this point one side has done a much better job of marketing.
