You've obviously missed reading the motto of the RS. Would suggest you
do so before continuing to make yourself look a huge fool!

Ok - so we have:

"The Royal Society's motto 'Nullius in verba' roughly translates as
'take nobody's word for it'. It is an expression of the determination
of Fellows to withstand the domination of authority and to verify all
statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment."

Which is how the world's scientists have arrived at the consensus on
AGW. What you don't seem to compredend is that 'authority' in so many
cases is big business and government - have you any idea how resistant
many governments have been to accepting the evidence? To take another
example, have you a clue about how long it took environmental activists
to get rid of lead in petrol?

I'm surprised that a DIY group habours such a seething nest of science
deniers in the UK. But thinking about it, DIYers are those more likely
to hunker in a homemade bunker with an ample supply of tinned food to
avoid government regulation. I expect there are plenty more at
uk.rec.sheds.
