BBC News - Climate consensus cracking open - or not

"A large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed," it says.In other words - in a meme that's become very familiar over the last few years - "the consensus is cracking".

It's a troublesome meme in several ways.

First, and most obvious, is the absence of any evidence that it's actually true. Certainly, since the "ClimateGate" affair there's been criticism from within the scientific community about the practices of some climate scientists - but that's very different from disputing their broad conclusions.
