It strikes me as very curious that people on a certain side of the debate are quick to cite tens of thousands of scientists worth of opinions on the climate, but when it comes to conducting an audit the veracity of historical forecasts, the sample size put forward for evaluation is so small that it can be counted on one hand.

Are you intentionally trying to insult the intelligence of others, or do you not even know that you are doing it?

I think it is worthwhile revisiting what Freeman Dyson had to say on the subject of climate.
