[quote Eugene]There was just an article in NY Times claiming that only one of all Republican Senate candidates believes in man-made global warming (which is, as you, of course, know, the scientific consensus).[/quote]
No it is not the scientific consensus. though that is a discussion for a separate thread. The media and politicians like ‘consensus’.. it makes it easy to decide which way ‘the wind blows’. The scientific process is based upon anything but consensus. The process is not based upon the total number of scientists on any one side.. but based upon the ‘last fact standing’. Even Hansen (NOAA pro-AGW, and one of the most voiciferous) had to agree that not enough is know of the role water plays in the whole cycle and that their models do not properly account for it. The earth’s surface is 60% water!
