Ed, will you drop this. You don't know what you're talking about.
There is not unanimity, there is however, certainly a massive majority of
informed scientific opinion that believes in anthropogenic. I don't know
whether consensus require unanimity, but that *is* the present majority
belief.
They may be wrong, but thats what most environmental scientists believe.
Trust me, I work in the area.
To state otherwise is to be totally
out of touch with the scientific literature.

The fact that you persistently and erroneously exaggerate the size of the
anti-camp within the scientific community -- mainly due to their hefty
