He said he's skeptical, not that he thinks it's wrong. I've got to say that this kind of rabid response from climate change proponents kinda prods my inner contrarian.

I think at this point the group think is so strong that if anyone came out with evidence against global warming they would commit career suicide by publishing it

Oh good. So you'd rather see millions of people be displaced. We're fucked as a species when "I'm a contrarian" is a valid reason to disagree.

> they would commit career suicide by publishing it
