Bart R -
Very interesting and thoughtful. Implicitly tolerant too in these particularly tribal waters 
Just one thing – I agree that Judith invites debate. And I too come here for that reason among many. However, apart from some comments on the IPPC, Climategate and how issues could be better framed, I don’t hear Dr C issuing anything like statements. I wouldn’t even find it easy to pin down her ‘view’ which is refreshing [it's why I do my basic learning about climate science at Science of Doom - same reason]. And you agree that she doesn’t indulge in motivated release of information…..
I just wonder how it is that you find yourself disagreeing with 17 out of 20 of her statements. Where do you find them all in the first place? Am I missing out on some declarative pronouncements somewhere?
