Then why is their resistance from the scientists. Right now, only data can speak louder than the talking heads.

I imagine it's because a lot of climate scientists have had to put up with skeptics misinterpreting their data and then slandering them in blogs. My understanding is that scientists are more than willing to exchange data with other qualified scientists who have the training to be able to correctly interpret data, but not to conspiracy blogging hitmen.

What makes Steve McIntyre unqualified? The fact that he debunked some of Mann's work?
