He is not a scientist. The entire discussion was about scientists engaging in group think.

Regarding skeptics to degrees

1. There are no credible skeptics in the community regarding the observation that climate has warmed in the past 100 years

2. There are nearly no credible skeptics in the community regarding the rather simple deduction that humans caused a non-trivial portion of the warming in the past 100 years
