That's nonsense. You sound like the editors at Scientific American who keep assuring me that no paper on cold fusion has ever been published. Most climatologists are sure that CO2 from burning fuel is causing global warming. Maybe they are right, and maybe they are wrong, but there is no doubt that is what the majority of them think. Not <1%; most of them. This is a matter of fact. Not an opinion, and not a scientific dispute. This is what climatologists say in opinion polls and in their own journals and web sites. You can dispute scientific findings all you like, but you cannot dispute what climatologists tell poll takers, or what they say publicly. They DO NOT say what you claim they say. Along the same lines, the people at Scientific American may claim that no good papers have been published. They may claim that no papers have been published in Nature, or in Science. But when they say that no papers have been published they are denying a matter of fact that anyone can verify. That's stupid. - Jed
