This person isn't the only dissenting voice, as noted here. I'm not sure how many scientists agreed with anything in the IPCC's report (just try to get 200+ people to write a report in which they all agree). I realized that 'something was up' as soon as I heard Vice President Al Gore say those immortal words, "The debate is over!" That's an absolutist statement, more akin to religion than science. In science, the debate may never be over; you should always question the establishment (Worlds in Collision does this, though its evidence is scant and predictions non-existent, and yet science still has 'debated' it). Whether man-made global warming (or is it climate change?) is happening or not, I think that discussion of the results and experiments is a healthy thing, regarding of where the data may lead. Those stating that it is truly man-made have the burden of proving it, just as those asserting that it's not even happening have to show the data.

Eventually the truth will win out.

To start back a few steps, that NASA probe Deep Impact sent back some snapshots of Earth and the Moon. Can we at least agree that there are no turtles holding up the Earth? And we finally get to see what Tilion's craft looks like from the back.
