Lawrence Solomon works for Energy Probe, a Canadian environmentalist group dedicated to opposing the nuclear-power industry. Mr. Solomon also writes a weekly column for Toronto's National Post and is aligned to the Urban Renaissance Institute. One, therefore, might consider him a tried-and-true believer in the concept of man-made global warming. And yes, he was.

The key word in the preceding paragraph is, of course, "was." Some time ago, Mr. Solomon decided to probe the minds of scientists derisively called "The Deniers" (think "Holocaust deniers") because they refused to join the gadarene rush to the supposed global warming "consensus." After months of interviews and writing, here is what Mr. Solomon has concluded:

"Somewhere along the way, I stopped believing that a scientific consensus exists on climate change. Certainly there is no consensus at the very top echelon of scientists, and certainly there is no consensus among astrophysicists and other solar scientists. If anything, the majority view among these subsets of the scientific community may run in the opposite direction."

Hence, by the admission of someone who clearly knows, the science on this convulsive matter is by no means "settled."
