Hmm, I know paleo people at three of the main midwestern clusters (U
of C, Purdue, Wisconsin) and I'd say they are uniformly either
IPCC-centrist or on the cassandra side of the cassandra/polyanna scale
on anthro climate change.
In my observation it's the statisticians that seem the most blase,
especially the old-school statistical climatology types, who would
include the likes of Reid Bryson, Bill Gray, and even Pat Michaels
based on his PhD thesis, which you can see in the department library
at U Wisconsin-Madison if you're so inclined.
I think that is because they apply their assumption (everything is
cyclic) to get their analyses, and then circularly conclude that we
must be in a cycle.
Von Storch is much more sophisticated than that, and seems to be a
real statistician, but even he, and our own James, appear to be a
little on the relaxed-of-center side, though not as much as the less
mathematically sophisticated of the statistical crowd.
