OK--fair enough. So you've said that a convincing consensus would persuade you to get on board. Name a percentage. 80%? 90%?

A few dozen geologists does nothing to contradict the consensus that exists. There are literally thousands of scientists whose empirical data supports global warming. How many more will it take?

If you're not convinced now, it's because you've decided not to believe in it. If thousands of scientists versus a few dozen won't convince you, it's because you made up your mind beforehand.
