Only if you count social scientists, pottery scientists, acting
scientists, violin scientists, political scientists, and any other
scientist that knows absolutely nothing about climatology. Even among
those who do, such, such as those below attending this meeting, say
that it is at least mostly natural, if not entirely so.

Ah, the technique of character assasination. The men who gathered at
this meeting do not insist that it is bunk, they insist that the idea
that it is caused by mankind to be bunk. Two entirely different
conclusions. But I am not surprised that a journalist would bait and
switch like that...
