I do not think, of course, that scientific conclusions are to be settled by voting. One may be right and many may be wrong. That said, it is unclear to me how the view of a single scientist ("One is enough") whose conclusions are in line with yours overpowers the conclusions of the vast majority. Of actual scientists that is, I am not regarding journalists, talk-show comics, folks with axes to grind, corporations and their flackies and flunkies, and the like.
Can you name any others with actual scientific credentials and similar stature, who discount anthropogenic contributions to global warming?

Look at just one group of many......
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/f...59d605&rfp=dta In that one url there are 60 qualified academics who discount global warming hysteria and can supply as much validated evidence to backup their views as the 'Global Warmers' can in opposition [without the hysteria and hype that predicts future catastrophe].
BTW Saying any Scientist who differs from the majority view is in the pay of Oil Companies, Big Business, etc is akin to smearing anyone a 'Commy' years ago. Did it not occur to you that all the Green factions will still be screaming 'Global Warming - give us funds...' even when the next Mini Ice Age is upon us! Carbon Claptrap is all smoke and mirrors.
Many centuries ago a scientist or two dared to suggest the Earth was not the centre of the Universe, the majority however, believed the Earth was the centre of the Universe. How stupid does that seem now?
