The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change
When do 97% of people agree on anything, even ice cream? In scientific circles, consensus is a rare trophy, held to famously exacting standards. When a scientific consensus is finally reached — e.g., the Earth orbits the sun; water freezes at 32°F, 0°C; blood is red — a new fact joins the foundations of human discovery.
Under normal circumstances, a 97% consensus of the world’s leading scientists on anything would establish it as fact and compel action if needed. But our circumstances are not normal. Only 12% of Americans realize that that the scientific consensus on climate change is greater than 90%. Even among people who are Alarmed or Concerned about climate change, the consensus is somewhat unknown. Of the Alarmed, 84% understand the scientific consensus on climate change (16% do not); and 73% of the Concerned (27%).

Does not exist like you want to believe

Ok dude that is why you're looking to a lawyer that claims himself a scientists to support your position.

Why would you believe people that were caught cooking the books? No global warming means no pay.Gwad said:Ok dude that is why you're looking to a lawyer that claims himself a scientists to support your position.

I'm a logician and I believe in real science
Not half truths and phony stats
The climate changes. We all know that. Its your religion that we dont agree with and that has no consensus -
Ya why would you believe scientists or a huge petroleum company that came to the same conclusions decades before the issue ever became charged by propaganda.

Sweet, good work!!! Could you do us all a favor and send this report to some Chinese forums? That would be great since that country alone contributes 30% of the total global greenhouse gases

Ya humans are just exempt from having their activities add any weight to the outcome of your logical progressions. Seems like you forget about the principles of causality in your logical facade.RaceBannon said:

Ax yourself:
Your very existence is dependent on grant-funding and corporate or gubmint support to put food on the table. You have no appreciable job skills or other means of making money than 'research'. Take any topic - climate, agriculture, drug research....who cares? Same concept.
It is not logical to assume benevolence and truthiness uber alles. You gots to eat. Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you? Or your family? Remember - you can't do shit other than sit in a lab or interpret data. You can't swing a hammer, you can't close a deal, you can't produce a product.....
That 3% that aren't in your 97% consensus....maybe THAT'S the group that says "Fuck all" and isn't beholden to the Money Grab and are pure scientists for the science of it.
But that's not in the interest of the Money Grabbers....so you're considered a heretic.
And the crazy part is - the Money Grabbers sit on both the left and the right. They just have a comfort in either direction on who they want to whore out their 'science'.
It gets really hot. It gets really cold. Same as it ever was.

Kind of hilarious the links to studies don't work on an article crying out about communication of consensus. To Google I go I guess.

These scientist not only rely on funding for research, but also for wages as well. The climate change hysteria has to continue or a lot of these scientist are out of a job.
