Block43, you know exactly what I meant when I referred to climate scientists. I was referring to the greater scientific community, whose passion is to try and predict weather/climate patterns.
If I was to broad in my description, then bad on me. However, I was simply trying to do was show your climate friends a little respect, but seeing that you want to push the point, then I will play along.
The fact is, climate "experts" are not experts in anything. They tell us that their job is to predict long term trends in the climate, but they have no record to back this claim up.
Climate scientists were not predicting Global Warming 40 years ago, in fact the opposite is true.
The fact is, all they are doing now is reporting on what has already happened, something any fool can do. The difficult part is proving you can foretell the future, and that is where hard results must be produced.
Show me the consensus predictions decades ago that predicted Global Warming. If you can't do this, then your support of climate experts is not based on a reputation of predictive success, but something else.
If you want to do a little research yourself, there is a great chart (GISS Surface Temperature Analysis) that plots global temperature anomalies form 1880.
This chart illustrates that until around 1980, global ocean temperatures were actually average or below average. Only in about the past 30 years have they started to rise, and even then, in a quite moderate and unremarkable fashion.
Finally, the people I was referring to as "herd members" were not people in other countries, but the majority of people who read this blog, like yourself. People who privy to lots of information from the media, politicians, and activists, but who lack the ability to come up with original thoughts and positions.
