Couldn't say it better myself.......

Today’s climate scientists, like the scientists of old, are basing their alarmist conclusions and predictions on observation and a relatively poor knowledge of the factors that affect the Earth's climate. Temperatures are increasing, human industrialization and population are increasing; therefore human activity is causing temperatures to increase. Where are the experiments to test this hypothesis? We are assured that all of the papers on global warming are “peer reviewed,” and so their conclusions are valid. But were not heliocentrism, Phlogiston theory, and spontaneous generation, all subjected to their equivalent form of peer review? Worse, today’s climate scientists cite the very existence of consensus among them as proof of the validity of their ideas. That is not science, it is indoctrination. Science is skepticism. Those brave enough to buck the modern orthodoxy and test hypotheses contrary to the accepted view are doing the only true science in this field.
