I am glad to see a continued effort to understand climate change.

I don't appreciate the little jab thrown in at the end: "Climate scientists got the basic data right, and they've almost certainly gotten the human causes right too."

I'm not saying I understand the science one way or the other... but that last comment seems more like an "IN YOUR FACE" and a little less than a reasonable argument.

It was an 'in your face', and a deserved one IMHO. The evidence for anthropomorphic climate change is abundant, and an objective look at the data will sway a reasonable person. Given the scope of this problem, it's extremely frustrating that we are still having the debate, especially when it has been extended by energy companies that will lose money as we try to solve it. It's a dishonest debate, and Muller was paid to continue it. -That's why an in-your-face was justified, IMO.
