Why Listen to Scientists?

It seems to me that the votaries of the global warming deluge, like Clive Hamilton and Geoff Davies, have disrobed themselves of their scientific mantles and donned upon their heads the hoods of the Spanish Inquisition. Anyone who is not a conformist to the conventional wisdom of global warming is a “denialist” and “contrarian” and deserves like the heretics the burning heat of the stake. Only conformists are destined to enter the Garden of Eden of the Rousseuan state of nature that the supporters of climate change espouse.

 

Dr. Davies, parroting Clive Hamilton, puts a lot of emphasis on the scientists’ peer review process which is a key in substantiating the findings of the climate change scientists . Two weeks ago thirty-one thousand American scientists signed a petition contesting and repudiating these findings which presumably demonstrate the perils of anthropogenic global warming. Did they do this without also being under the peer review process of their scientific colleagues?
