Nope. And I didn't say I disagreed, it's editorial policy at CKA that opinion columns and blogs are not 'news'.

Yes, because 'editorial policy' at CKA is of paramount importance.

In the day and age where editors are getting shot for their editorial policies, I would say it's not a laughing matter. When the topic is of utmost importance to our species survival, I'd also say it wasn't a laughing matter.

97% probably agree that human are contributing to the current warming trend. Probably 97% don't agree that it will be catastrophic. There is just too much uncertainty around that. I agree that the 97% study is over-rated myself. It was conducted by skeptical science, I think, which is an advocacy organization.

That said, the number of deniers is undoubtedly shrinking. Event he heavyweight "skeptics" are't deniers--Lindzen, Dyson, Spencer, etc. Spencer is quickly running out of patience with the electric universe and the "back radiation" crowd on his website.

Nor do opinions in the form of popularity polls constitute science.

I agree. But I'm not claiming that a 'consensus' is scientific proof of anything.

Proof is for logic and alcohol. Not science.

When you propose to end Western industrial civilization in order to maybe reduce the rate of warming that might or might not be happening then you goddam better have proof for the idea.

There's plenty of evidence. Just no proof. Even if there was such a thing, it still wouldn't convince the deniers. Ideology trumps facts for most people.
