The fact that zealots are so certain is one of the first things that alerted me to possible problems.<br /><br />The other thing were the doubts of my youngest brother. He is a scientist: an astrophysicist and a meteorologist. When he was completing his research for the latter, at a well-known and very repuatable university, the things he came across regarding 'climate change' practices shocked him. For one thing, all 'dissent' was squashed and any dissenters were, implicitly at least, threatened. He decided that the scientific method, in this area at least, had been suspended in favour of an unchallangable belief system.<br /><br />I remember him telling me at the time: "we don't even know if there is such a thing as a 'global climate' and they're telling you not only that it's heating up, but by how much!"<br /><br />He doesn't do meteorology any more.
