Janama: "which scientists is the question wobbles."

Yes, I agree Janama. The climate scientists, ie those that have spent their lifetimes studying climate, are as far as I can tell unanimous in their decision - AGW is real.

The dissenters come from political scientists (like Don Aitkin), anthropologists, people who study flowers and all sorts of fields unrelated to climate science.

As you say, it really does come down to which group you are going to believe.
