Uh, what? The recently leaked emails specifically showed climate scientists attempting to work together to suppress dissent, e.g., urging that people in the group stop submitting to a particular journal because it published "skeptical" studies.
I think you may be misconstruing what many skeptics believe. No skeptics believe there is a vast conspiracy of scientists working together to pull a fast one on the public even though they know that global warming does not exist. Instead, some skeptics believe a small culture of well meaning scientists have fallen victim to a host of well-known and self-reinforcing biases that make their analysis, and especially their extrapolations, suspect.
- DilipJ 16y ago"No skeptics believe there is a vast conspiracy of scientists working together ..." uh, isn't that a suspect extrapolation? Just Google what Sen. Inhofe has to say on the subject. Just like the article said, there is a significant overlap between those who deny AGW and those who deny evolution. And if over a century of empirical evidence is not enough to convince them that they're wrong, what good is a few decades worth of data?
