Thrilled you are posting Dr. Ellison!  :- )  Thanks for that.  As with Matt, you provide fascinating detail-level support for your position.  Perhaps you and he will exchange ideas for our benefit.

You use the examples of cold fusion and N-rays to assert that "the process worked and a consensus developed in short order."  You then say that those on the other side of climate change are intellectually dishonest.
The thrust of your argument seems to be that cold fusion and N-Rays, and by implication all other such examples of consensus reversal, were never really consensuses.
Are you saying that scientific consensus does not change after it has been widely agreed upon?  That for a scientist to challenge the consensus is inappropriate?

Was it inappropriate for Einstein to challenge Newton's Laws?  Would it be inappropriate to challenge relativity now?
Of COURSE the 'process will work' and truth will win out EVENTUALLY.  From Matt's point of view this IS the process:  the current debate on climate change.
