I would say the argument from cluelessness is weakest.

Rutan charged that climate scientists have it wrong, setting himself
as a superior authority. Is he?


Rutan is in agreement with many climate scientists.

No, he isn't. Unless the definition of "many" equals 3 or 4.

Please provide cites.


Define what you are talking about.

Just about everyone agrees the past few decades are warmer than previous.

Not everyone agrees the cause is human.


No, just every scientific professional organization in the world.


That's a pretty big claim, and I assume you are talking about AGW,
not just warming, so what do you have to back that claim up?

Not everyone agrees that the Earth orbits the Sun or that it is more than
6,000 years old. So what?


Non responsive; the group under discussion was "climate scientists", not
the general population.
