A single scientist? Hardly. There's a growing number of scientists who aren't afraid of being shouted down anymore. They're asking questions about this supposed causal relationship between CO2 and temperature (such as the 800 year gap mentioned in the quote above) and how it can exist if one directly causes the other.

If you want to stick your head in the sand and ignore the flaws in the position you're supporting, and make up stories about those that disagree with you (ie: "a reason to do nothing" when nobody has said that), then go for it... you're the one being a fool.
Dude counter examples are all that's been on the table for years and only recently has the other side of the coin found traction. As if the "other side" hasn't had a fair shake thus far and the poor non environmentalists have been drowned out!
I don't mind dispute and counter claims, but I guess I'm saying those that are over eager to listen to them are the ones burying their heads.
Although I guess I shouldn't have assumed that questioning things mean you necessarily do nothing so I concede that.
