John, for many skeptics there is exists an insurmountable cognitive obstruction to "defining ‘science’ as that which follows the scientific method as it was defined for hundreds of years?"
Namely, per the <i>American Institute of Physics</i> (AIP) historical survey "<a href="http://www.aip.org/history/climate/co2.htm" rel="nofollow">The Discovery of Global Warming</a>", the traditional definition of science legitimizes the opinion of most climate scientists that AGW is real, serious, and accelerating.
Which is a reality that committed denialists cannot accept … hence they seek to alter the very definition of science.
