  back to the matter in hand...

  ...I've been looking at the survey carried out by the Pielke Research Group of '140 climate scientists' which they believe shows significant dissent among scientists with the findings of the IPCC WG1 report.

  I've written about it here:

  I wrote about this because the Pielke Research Group claimed that the decision not to publish an article based on the research, a decision taken by EOS and Nature Precedings, was an example of bias in climate change reporting.

  I disagreed, and so investigated. My view is that the Pielke Group is using rhetoric and taking positions that is not backed up by their own data. I probably don't know enough science, but I do know enough about the uses of language for this rhetoric to ring some bells of alarm about research emanating from this research group.
