A Gallup poll at the time reported....

Science of the new millennium......

[SteveMcKing]

It all highlights that “consensus” does not mean right, factual, nor even accurate.

It was never an appropriate term to promote, no matter if it were even true (which it isn’t, but that’s beside my point here).

It all highlights that “consensus” does not mean right, factual, nor even accurate.

It means, "You're alone. Everybody else thinks you're an idiot. Shut up and do what you're told!"

The last bit is behind almost everything liberals say.

Anti Global Warming Petition Project

 

During the past several years, more than 17,100 basic and applied American scientists, two-thirds with advanced degrees, have signed the Global Warming Petition.

Nearly all of the initial 17,100 scientist signers have technical training suitable for the evaluation of the relevant research data, and many are trained in related fields. In addition to these 17,100, approximately 2,400 individuals have signed the petition who are trained in fields other than science or whose field of specialization was not specified on their returned petition.

Global Warming Petition

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

Good news, Mr. Gore, the Apocalypse has been postponed

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

My take on their latest report is that it is 'unequivocal' that the earth is warming. From there, it becomes less certain that the warming is due to man, what amount is due to man, what we can do about it, etc. They should have put the 'unequivocal' at the end of the report.

[Brad from Tennessee]

[ . . My take on their latest report is that it is ‘unequivocal’ that the earth is warming.]

I agree but how much is it warming? If you are familiar with Dr. Roger Pelke Sr.’s CLIMATE SCIENCE site, any “average” global temperature is skewed because many weather reporting stations are no longer in rural areas. City and suburbs with concrete and asphalt have grown up around these sites creating an urban heat island effect. I read recently a weather station in Los Angeles is being relocated to escape this factor. At least three stations in China are being moved because of recent, rapid urbanization surrounding them. If you read Steve McIntyre’s CLIMATE AUDIT blog you will find evidence that IPCC affiliated scientists are “adjusting” the historical climate record to conform with the UN’s vision.

I agree but how much is it warming?

I'm blanking on the name of the scientist that presented their findings. The presentation should still be on C-span.org and if I locate it I will post it. But basically, she brings up the items you mention. My opinion is that the reporters covering the presentation all left after she said 'unequivocal' and that became the story.

I was informed, and so did my own research, that the Oregon Institute and the Petiton against GW seriously lack credibility.

[Royal Wulff]

Who confers credibility? The MSM?

[JustTheTruth]

I do look forward to relishing the day when the true consensus will be about what a presumptive idiot Al Gore has been proven to be ....

But wait, isn’t he a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize? HA!

Nice information at the link you provided.

[Molly Pitcher]

This is a great piece.

Why not have these deniers do a “minority report” ?

From the "New findings indicate today's greenhouse gas levels not unusual"

"Stopping climate change" may be all the rage with celebrities and environmental lobbyists, but fortunately for the rest of us, the scare's scientific foundation is rapidly disintegrating. 

As though the lack of a scientific foundation ever stopped the Salem witch trials or Hitlerian eugenics or Communist purges of undesirable elements standing in the way of the New Society. As long as the global warming environmentalists are able to control government spending and regulatory agencies, the truth doesn't matter at all.
