Meanwhile why don't we leave climate science, or any other branch of
science for that matter, to those whose track record shows them to be
competent. People who believe interpreting scientifically derived and
processed data is somehow just a matter of preference and personal
opinion need to wise-up or shut up, as I have already said.


Of course climate science should be left to climate scientists. It's
mistrust of the 'spin' sometimes put on 'scientific' findings which leads to
scepticism, I suspect. For example, Home Office statistics show that 'crime'
is increasing, hence the surrender of civil liberties is justified. Or
driving Range Rovers causes global warming, hence increases on taxes on 4x4s
is justified, etc.
