His opinion is worth about as much as that of a politician who does believe in global warming, thinks the reports of the IPCC are way too conservative, and likens capitalism to fascism - absolutely nothing.

lol.. youre still missing the point... Can you dipsute his assertion that the IPCC isnt has objective, independent and intellectually honest has it claims to be.. and therefore, there consensus claim is bogus?

Yes, the IPCC has political influences. It also has thousands of scientists reviewing its reports. Scientists who would complain quite loudly if politics really distorted the scientific consensus.

Really? How would they do that? With a bullhorn? Or you think the mainstream media would be all over it?
Heres an uncomplete list of those who disagree... I dont see Tim Ball being listed there...
Heres an aricle of his..

Be reminded also that those who produce work backing the theory of man made global warming receive grants... and those who denounce that theory are called fringe and nuts..

Actually, they do point to those who disagree. The American Associan for Petroleum Geologists disagrees. They don't point to any others, because there are no other established scientific organizations that have issued statements of dissent. There are have been non-scientific groups (think tanks, etc), as well as small scientific groups, but _no_ large, established scientific organizations disagree.

established scientific organizations... haha What makes an organization more credible than individuals? Thats like saying, thats not true because no established News organization said so.. Those "established scientific organizations" are funded by who you think? Do a bit of research..
