ucodegen,
Actually, I asked for the source of where there has been a study showing there are exactly the same amount of papers debunking global warming as there are proving it. Thanks for looking though.

I’m glad you bring up Ms. Oreskes. I’m really interested in this whole subject, and a colleague of hers at UCSD took the time to write to me about her when I asked him some questions.

From one of his emails regarding denialists, and global warming:
“It is very important to realize that it is quite common and normal in science for new ideas and concepts to take hold unevenly and after considerable disagreement, and thus for some scientists to be left behind as science has progressed. Naomi Oreskes of UCSD has written eloquently and at great length about the history of how continental drift and plate tectonics eventually became settled science. It took a long time. There wasn’t a uniform eureka moment at which everybody agreed on the new ideas, and some eminent experts in fact went to their graves without accepting them.” ~ Richard Somerville, Phd.

You can see how the above applies to the field of climate change. Just as Bush was not on the band-wagon before, he’s now willing to talk about it.

All you others better jump on Bush’s band-wagon too. Perhaps with enough spin, you guys can claim you were the ones to first start solving the problem!
