Worried About Floods Due to Rising Sea Level? Forget It: Not Happening
What they mean is that the science is settled to anyone who matters. And those who still cling to that old fashioned notion of wanting to see the evidence before jumping to a conclusion don’t matter.

Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

I paid attention and this I know. You are intelligent, educated and experienced and you are a speck in the vast ignorant population of this country.
...and how many have or have had a government grant? Follow the money.
Signatories are approved for inclusion in the Petition Project list if they have obtained formal educational degrees at the level of Bachelor of Science or higher in appropriate scientific fields.
All of the listed signers have formal educations in fields of specialization that suitably qualify them to evaluate the research data related to the petition statement. Many of the signers currently work in climatological, meteorological, atmospheric, environmental, geophysical, astronomical, and biological fields directly involved in the climate change controversy.

Don’t they know there is a consensus?
Hey, I've read a couple of gooks on quantum theory. Do I qualify?
I don’t know about the Community College Degree, but I know you meet the qualification if you are a Democrat Politician or someone with a financial stake in “Green Energy”, which may be the same person.
Only have to look at the European Union to see it in action.
