Instead of listening to the science you claim that science isn't prefect (which it doesn't claim to be) and cloud the debate with arguments like that. And now we are blaming science for global warming? You are out of your mind. I don't even know how to respond to that.
No, all he is saying is that science has been proven wrong in the past, so take it with a grain of salt.
Fairly well known example:
Columbus goes against all the scientists at the time and claims that the earth is round and not flat. He is pretty much alone, gets funding, goes off and discovers a whole new world, and proves that the earth is infact round.
The well known scientists of the time where wrong. Columbus was right.

What if the majority of the pro-man-causes-global-warming scientist camp are wrong? From what I am getting from alot of the articles posted in this thread, alot in the pro camp are climate change experts. They study the affects of climate change, not the root cause of climate change.

Or if they are right, we could be living in a "Day after tomorrow" world at some point in the future.

(Sorry for the muddled thoughts, long weekend and all..)
