I'm seeing a no-win situation.

If there isn't a near-consensus that global warming is man-made then we should "wait until all the science is in" to act.

If there is a near-consensus that global warming is man-made then it is a global conspiracy to garner money and thus we should not act.

Therefore the only means of proving that global warming is man-made is if all scientists work for free, get no grant money and thus have no equipment to perform their science with AND they all come to the same conclusion.

Since this is a ridiculous scenario, the anti-GW crowd have set up a no-win situation for those that believe the science. Game. Set. Match. QED
