You have an apparently knowlegeable guy, a specialist in his field, a climatologist, and you, instead of learing something from him, simply declare him incompetent - while you yourself don't seem to know first thing about that subject.Your best defense in this question - dumping it on me... figures, as you have nothing else to state.
I say - drop your silly prejudices and spend some time talking with him. It is likely you will abandon the childish "he knows it all" and simply realize he knows a few things about his field of expertize.
Our problem today is too many people with your mindset. Knowing exactly zero about this field, they don't have any problems putting forward very forceful positions - just read this thread. Any doubts regarding their knowledge are met with ridicule, and you are doing in that department just great.
When you learn perhaps 1% about that field what your FIL does, then perhaps your views will be taken seriously too. Until then, with Al Gore as your source, I would be more willing to talk with your FIL than with ten people here.
As far as your presentation of your FIL personal life... I think you should rethink posting such stuff here, as it surely does not present YOU in any good light - how exactly does it make you look I will not state, but I think you get my tilt.
If your intent was to thusly present all anti-GW climatologists as bad people, this would be just ridiculous, but speaking badly of someone who is not here to defend himself is at best ungentlemanly.
