The point I was making was that one voice saying "no, you're wrong" doesn't make you wrong. It ''should'' make you look closer at your work to make sure you're right, but simple disagreement doesn't invalidate your point. Yes, there are scientists that dispute the interpretation of evidence for global warming. But they are in the vast minority, and many of them aren't climatologists. And they have yet to offer anything in the way of a hypothesis, let alone a working ''theory'', to account for the observations without invoking a global warming trend. That is the requirement of science -- if you disagree, come up with a better explanation, and let ''its'' strength -- not the volume of your voices, or your political allies -- win the day for you. Until they do so, global warming is the accepted explanation.

Pretending there ''isn't'' a consensus because you don't like the implications, or because it conflicts with your holy book of choice, or with your personal prejudices, doesn't change the truth -- any more than me proclaiming that you are not a human being but a sapient koala bear will make you fuzzy and prone to chowing down on eucalyptus leaves.

Anyway, the point is -- if your edit is ''only'' about changing the politics of the article, it ''will'' be reverted and it ''will'' be locked to prevent an [[Edit War]].
