He makes the interesting point that although he has recently converted to the ranks of โ€œbelieversโ€ in climate change, he feels odd using that term, because he says that once the scientific evidence is in, it makes no more sense to say that you are โ€œbelieveโ€ in global warming than that you believe in gravity.
