FC troll we have covered this... 98 percent of scientists dont even agree on toothpaste.... your study was a fraudulent piece of shit mis read of the study... here is the reality of science.... PRINCETON, NJ (January 3, 2011)âS. Fred Singer said in an interview with the National Association of Scholars (NAS) that âthe number of skeptical qualified scientists has been growing steadily; I would guess it is about 40% now.â Singer, a leading scientific skeptic of anthropocentric global warming (AGW), is an atmospheric physicist, and founder of the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), an organization that began challenging the published findings of the UNâs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the 1990s. SEPP established the Leipzig Declaration, a statement of dissent from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol that has been signed by over one hundred scientists and meteorologists. Asked what he would like to see happen in regard to public opinion and policy on climate change, Singer replied, I would like to see the public look upon global warming as just another scientific controversy and oppose any public policies until the major issues are settled, such as the cause. If mostly natural, as NIPCC concludes, then the public policies currently discussed are pointless, hugely expensive, and wasteful of resources that could better be applied to real societal problems. NIPCC is the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, another group established by Singer. In 2009 NIPCC published Climate Change Reconsidered,an 880-page report on scientific research that contradicts the models of man-made global warming. Singer believes that global warming exists but that human contributions to it are minimal. In the interview Singer said he believed his efforts in the last twenty years had been successful in disproving the notion that âthe science is settled.â Singer continues his work in the sciences, focusing lately on geophysical research and the Earthâs atmosphere. He is professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Virginia, and he was the founding Dean of the School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences at the University of Miami (1964-1967) and the Director of the Center for Atmospheric and Space Physics University of Maryland (1953-1962). The National Association of Scholars does not take a position on global warming but advocates for a full discussion of all sides of the controversy.To learn more about NAS, visit www.nas.org. #### http://www.nas.org/articles/Estimated_40_Percent_of_Scientists_Doubt_Manmade_Global_Warming
Less than half of published scientists endorse global warming Link to this page http://www.skepticalscience.com/klaus-martin-schulte-consensus.htm The skeptic argument... Less than half of published scientists endorse global warming Klaus-Martin Schulte examined all papers published from 2004 to February 2007. Of 528 total papers on climate change, only 38 (7%) gave an explicit endorsement of the consensus. While only 32 papers (6%) reject the consensus outright, the largest category (48%) are neutral papers, refusing to either accept or reject the hypothesis. Only a single one makes any reference to climate change leading to catastrophic results. (Source: DailyTech) What the science says... Schulte's paper makes much of the fact that 48% of the papers they surveyed are neutral papers, refusing to either accept or reject anthropogenic global warming. The fact that so many studies on climate change don't bother to endorse the consensus position is significant because scientists have largely moved from what's causing global warming onto discussing details of the problem (eg - how fast, how soon, impacts, etc). Schulte's paper (going on DailyTech's account) places great emphasis on the fact that
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.

What the science says. Schulte's paper makes much of the fact that 48% of the papers they surveyed are neutral papers, refusing to either accept or reject anthropogenic global warming. The fact that so many studies on climate change don't bother to endorse the consensus position is significant because scientists have largely moved from what's causing global warming onto discussing details of the problem (eg - how fast, how soon, impacts, etc). In other words, it's word-play, which is what you're doing here.
First off- if you notice - after 377 admonished me for name calling - I have not insulted you or made a personal attack. Second. You do realize, that when scientists say "human activity" they mean the release of greenhouse gasses, the clearing of forests and perhaps sulfates and particulates. They do this to be inclusive of these various things. The vast majority of the greenhouse gas is CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels. They know that. But your point is taken. The poll was not specifically about CO2.
what is your point with this juvenile question? I have answered it. It is a basic definition? Water vapor is a green house case. Is water vapor causing warming? 1. All the evidence we have says CO2 accumulation and dissipation lag temperature. You have admitted that. 2. Until today you claimed bullshit about 98 percent of climatoligists. now you see they did not address CO2 and it was not really 98 percent. it was 98 percent of those published a certain amount of times in what I am sure is pro alarmist journals. 3. You also learned today we have not warmed in 15 years. (according to the stats.) So its about time you apologized to all of us for hostile attitude and incorrect statements about temperature the last 15 years. Given CO2 lags temperature in the data... and that the earth cycles, and that the earth out gasses CO2 and that the earth processes CO2 with earth sinks... and that plants eat CO2.. just show us that man made co2 is causing warming.... that is all we ask. if you can not... back off your tone and b.s. and admit it is speculation.
No, we have evidence right now that CO2 leads temperature. That is why world temps are at or near record highs.
Holy shit, you can't just say, yes CO2 is a greenhouse gas can you? If you were on the witness stand the judge would hold in contempt of court ! LOL This is important. Without admitting this, we really can't move forward. I ask for the tenth time. Is CO2 a greenhouse gas?
That same data... is also susceptible to the idea that the man made gw models failed. The models predicted we would be at significantly higher temps. Since, we are not at new highs for over 15 years, we can question the idea that CO2 causes warming. (note I am not the one who made this argument... the gw pimp scientists are quite concerned about this... that is why they were caught emailing and fudging numbers in that scandal a few years ago.)
