    At the end of the clip, it states "NYE STUDIED MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY AND HAS WORKED AS AN ENGINEER FOR BOEING".

    According to futurecurrents' criteria Nye is in no way a climate scientist and should keep his mouth shut about climate science. Nye obviously does not have a scientific research background and his opinions are meaningless according to futurecurrents' assertions on reliable climate research sources.

    the count is therefore 1300 skeptical peer reviewed papers to zero peer reviewed papers showing man made co2 causes warming.

    Here are 1300 skeptical articles...

    http://www.populartechnology.net/2009/10/peer-reviewed-papers-supporting.html

    you have zero that is zero out of 33,000 authors researched and found that man made co2 causes warming (other than some older papers which used now failed models).

  7. Yes, an overwhelming one. There are NO respected publishing climatologists that deny man made global warming. None.

    Considering this, deniers really seem like idiots.

    In the same way, as outlined in the article, there was an "overwhelming" consensus that fat and not sugar was responsible for obesity, heart disease and diabetes. There were no respected publishing scientists who denied fat was the culprit and not sugar. And anyone who said otherwise was brutally treated by the "settled science" crowd funded by the food industry and politicians.

    Is this starting to sound familiar?

    Paris Climate Pact: Too Little, Too Late?

    When 195 nations clinched the Paris Agreement in December, it was heralded by some as a monumental achievement—the beginning of a process that would roll back the poisonous fruit of humankind's shortsightedness. Others viewed it as too little, too late.

    As officials converge on the United Nations for this week's signing, ominous reports in the four months since have buttressed the doubters: Global warming may hit geological
    hyperspeed in decades. NASA is projecting that 2016 will break the annual heat record for the third year running; Greenland's ice sheet is experiencing springtime melt weeks earlier than average; and much of West Antarctica is at risk of slipping into the Southern Ocean by 2100, adding a meter to global sea levels. Coastal cities home to millions of people may be underwater during the lifetimes of those born today.

    QUICKTAKEA Global Push to Save the Planet


    The pact “might not be enough, especially in terms of sea-level rise,” said Rob DeConto, a geoscientist at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. DeConto co-wrote the Nature study in March warning of Antarctica's fate. “We really need to go to zero emissions as soon as possible.”

    The earth is almost 1 degree centigrade (1.4 Fahrenheit) warmer than it was before the industrial revolution. The Paris accord, at its heart, is about how much warmer we will allow it to become as we retrofit economies to burn less fossil fuel. The negotiators agreed to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees centigrade above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees centigrade.”

    Scientific disagreements remain, but whether to act isn't one of them. The most important point of contention is precisely how sensitive the climate is to carbon dioxide. The answer will determine how much time we have left to avoid excessive risk of catastrophe (or, in fact, whether there is any time left at all). Climate Action Tracker is a research group funded by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and ClimateWorks. In December, its analysts published estimates of what the national climate pledges in Paris add up to. The answer? Not enough.

    The world handily overshoots the potentially dangerous “safe” zone of 2 centigrade warming; the lower target of 1.5 centigrade is fantasy.
