I'll bet things aren't quite as black and white to jack as they were before.
Remember, he falls in line with his GW experts: If he were to go back publicly on his stated stances, he'd lose face.
Face>>>>Good Science.
Until that equation changes, he shouldn't expect the rest of us to swallow the "GW is due to primarily due to man" line.

You're dealing with a guy who collected his information from Green. He's pretty much a lightweight on the subject and you probably would be better off having this discussion with Green. If you can get Green to consider all aspects of the GW research going on and admit that scientists dont have this all figured out and that the models are not very good predictors. Then all the Green followers on this board might begin to be pushed (by Green himself) to be more objective. Right now, Jack can't admit anything because he will lose face (with Green and others here) and those same posters will not support him if he says something like 'well gee maybe you're right and there are some other legitimate research perspectives and questions about GW'.
