You honestly don't believe that Putin's Russia cares only about the truth of science do you?

No more than Al Gore. Gore doesn't give a whit about science. He just cares about lining his pockets and using the leftist whack jobs masquerading as "climate scientists" to destroy the U.S. economy. "Consensus" and "science" don't belong in the same sentence. It is herd mentality trying to drown out real science.

Al Gore picks the most extreme and unsupported arguments for Global Warming and presents them as a fact. When questioned he states that he has the consensus of scientists even though his specific 'threats' do not have wide support (like his 20 ft sea rise claims or his increase in the number of hurricanes claims). But his method really isn't surprising. Democrats have been using this strategy for decades. If some kids get shot up at a school by a student gunman, they will use hand picked polling data to suggest the banning of all firearms. When questioned about this, they will claim that they have consensus based on a limited poll that doesn't cover the scope of their projected changes. The same applies to Gore's Global Warming argument except that it is more bizarre. In this case he assumes that a consensus of scientists guarantees the truth of his argument. He only needs to look back to the "One Hundred Authors Against Einstein" pamphlet to note how fallible humans can be when something is politicized.
