'overwhelming' consensus for manmade warming: , page-14

I went to that site Maaze and was confronted by this statement:

It takes a community to define a discipline: the 5th anniversary of Environmental Research Letters.

A bit cryptic but to me it seems they have formed a "community" and that community [themselves] have defined a discipline. As they "own" the discipline, they write the rules. That's total crap!

Some time ago I emailed Dr Richard Lindzen to ask if HE had been polled himself in that oft quoted "97% of climate scientists agree" poll. He replied in the negative. They DIDN'T ask one of the most eminent climate scientists in the world. Besides, he said the questions were so basic that one could hardly disagree. One question was "Do you agree with the science of the greenhouse effect?" Well that is established and you can accept that and still not agree with the AGW hypothesis.

The whole thing is built on politics. EVERY alarmist on this board is a socialist, still believing in the labor party led by Ms Gillard. We know this because HC also has a Politics thread. I think that is enlightening.
