“the dean of weather observers” isn't part of the alleged consensus

From this article:
Asked for his thoughts on global warming, Wachowski said he agrees with Skilling that “the jury is still out.”

“Obviously, it appears that the Arctic is getting warmer and causing problems for polar bears and other animals. But are we doing it? It has become a big political issue.”

He said it is harder to come to a definite conclusion about weather changes locally, because of the location of the equipment being moved over the years, and all the farmland in the Chicago area being built up and paved over.

“That definitely changes the temperature. We don’t have a long-enough period to study yet.

He said that even the heavy snowfall this past winter wasn’t that unusual when everything is taken into consideration.

“Everything goes through cycles,” he said.
