I do not think there ANY political struggles among climatologists as to
their results.  ALL are presenting their results and their interpretation of
same to the best of their ability and with honest intent.

The politics just comes in when their results are used by others completely
overlooking the tentative nature of all research results.

In any case - of course the climate is changing - it has been in a state of
flux every since ANY records began and before;  the argument is not about
the fact of change, but how reliable are forward predictions, which of
possible factors driving change are the most important at the present time
and for the next forseeable period, and what effects are forseeable changes
in climate expected to cause.

On all of these questions the scientific jury is still out - and will be for
decades to come.  In the meanwhile, what's the point in joining the
doomsayers...
