My point of view is that I run a business and have a very full life. I am not about to take trips out into the ocean taking scientific measurements, nor am I about to spend months or years studying climate science. So, yes, I form my opinions based on those of what seems to be a consensus within the field. My guess, is that the consensus will be right more often than the outliers.

The fact that he is a Christian Fundamentalist suggests that he puts more stock in religious faith than in science. Fine. There are things that I believe and respect more than science. But for matters of science, I'd rather go to the scientists than to him.
