There are as many non experts on one side as the other. All that does it make it all harder to decide.

The AGW controversy is somewhat like this. A very large, and growing, majority of those who have spent their careers studying climatology (experts) agree that AGW is happening. A large majority of those who oppose AGW have not spent their careers in this field, and therefore cannot be considered experts in that field! My money is with the climatologists.
