I'm curious why nobody seems to be jumping in on the skeptical side.... I know I'm not the only climate skeptic on here, because my comments on the topic seem to get upvoted, yet nobody ever seems to actually post in agreement, just upvote. Perhaps my fellow skeptics just avoid the topic in order to stay clear of the "no current politics" rule... although this introduces an asymmetry, in that people who hold the consensus view don't shy away from mentioning it (perhaps because they don't view it as being political), so you end up hearing from only one side.

If you squint at it just right, you could even view this as a microcosm of the climate change debate in general.
