the global warming war

Good article here by Debra Saunders pointing out that the "consensus" on global warming is increasingly under attack, but that these challenges to the conventional wisdom are seldom reported on in the U.S. media. One part of that article which I found incredible was that out of 928 peer-reviewed articles on climate change between 1993 and 2003 not one challenged the position of human-induced global warming. Saunders quotes David Bellamy, an Australian botanist who said (vis-a-vis the study of global warming) "It's not even science anymore; it's anti-science." It really is. Science is all about questioning the dominant paradigm and if no one is questioning the highly suspect paradigm of human-induced global warming then that isn't really science... it's faith.
