Hmmm...I don't view science politically, which I suppose is one reason some of the views expressed in this thread annoy me to such a great degree.
If the scientific tide ran against the global warming hypothesis I'd be the first to point it out.
I never believed the Ice Age alarmists for the very reason that they could gain no traction among their professional community. Nor did my conservation activist friends, for the community of conservation activists I run with are mostly biologists who look to science for answers.
And like most of my old conservation activist friends, I very much miss the days when there was broad bipartisan support for science-based conservation and environmental protection. Along with bipartisan opposition - one goes with the other.
