not that i think this matters but... http://www.climatedepot.com/2010/12...obal-warming-claims-challenge-un-ipcc-gore-2/ SPECIAL REPORT: More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims â Challenge UN IPCC & Gore http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesta...cientists-skeptical-of-global-warming-crisis/ Donât look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem. The survey results show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here) revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims. According to the newly published survey of geoscientists and engineers, merely 36 percent of respondents fit the âComply with Kyotoâ model. The scientists in this group âexpress the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause.â The authors of the survey report, however, note that the overwhelming majority of scientists fall within four other models, each of which is skeptical of alarmist global warming claims. The survey finds that 24 percent of the scientist respondents fit the âNature Is Overwhelmingâ model. âIn their diagnostic framing, they believe that changes to the climate are natural, normal cycles of the Earth.â Moreover, âthey strongly disagree that climate change poses any significant public risk and see no impact on their personal lives.â
As it turns out, going green comes with a hefty price tag and at least a few media outlets have noticed. In Europe, the push toward renewables in order to meet carbon emission goals has âbackfired,â driving costs way up, according to Business Insider. A recent report by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers showed that in four years, Europeâs electricity costs have âspikedâ by 17 percent for individuals and 21 percent for businesses Read more: http://newsbusters.org/#ixzz2k6bK8iv4
Show some proof of any science org that denys it. Do you want me to list all the ones that agree again? The founder of the Weather Channel is an idiot right wing nut job like you. Not a scientist. So his opinion means shit.
You don't learn do you? We have gone over this multiple times. You have no desire to be truthful do you? You are pathetic to bring up this total bullshit "survey" again. Canadian fossil fuel workers are neither objective or qualified. This is just more proof of what a fraud you are and how pathetic your arguments are. American Geophysical Union "The Earth's climate is now clearly out of balance and is warming. Many components of the climate system â including the temperatures of the atmosphere, land and ocean, the extent of sea ice and mountain glaciers, the sea level, the distribution of precipitation, and the length of seasons â are now changing at rates and in patterns that are not natural and are best explained by the increased atmospheric abundances of greenhouse gases and aerosols generated by human activity during the 20th century."
This is what NASA says Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.
to about using debunked bullshit... that was based on the now debunked cook study... Here is the up to date info... http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/09/...or-math-errors/ this is the most recent peer reviewed info... The new paper by the leading climatologist Dr David Legates and his colleagues, published in the respected Science and Education journal, now in its 21st year of publication, reveals that Cook had not considered whether scientists and their published papers had said climate change was âdangerousâ. The consensus Cook considered was the standard definition: that Man had caused most post-1950 warming. Even on this weaker definition the true consensus among published scientific papers is now demonstrated to be not 97.1%, as Cook had claimed, but only 0.3%. Only 41 out of the 11,944 published climate papers Cook examined explicitly stated that Man caused most of the warming since 1950. Cook himself had flagged just 64 papers as explicitly supporting that consensus, but 23 of the 64 had not in fact supported it.
Scientists questioning the accuracy of IPCC climate projections Scientists in this section have made comments that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.

The American Meteorological Society Climate is always changing. However, many of the observed changes noted above are beyond what can be explained by the natural variability of the climate. It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the past half century is human-induced increases in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrous oxide. The most important of these over the long term is CO2, whose concentration in the atmosphere is rising principally as a result of fossil-fuel combustion and deforestation. While large amounts of CO2 enter and leave the atmosphere through natural processes, these human activities are increasing the total amount in the air and the oceans. Approximately half of the CO2 put into the atmosphere through human activity in the past 250 years has been taken up by the ocean and terrestrial biosphere, with the other half remaining in the atmosphere. Since long-term measurements began in the 1950s, the atmospheric CO2 concentration has been increasing at a rate much faster than at any time in the last 800,000 years. Having been introduced into the atmosphere it will take a thousand years for the majority of the added atmospheric CO2 to be removed by natural processes, and some will...... http://www.ametsoc.org/policy/2012climatechange.pdf
