An overwhelming 97 percent of climatologists endorse the idea of human-caused global warming.
As if the backing of NASA, 18 independent American scientific societies, and an intergovernmental panel established under the United Nations weren't enough to quell the protests popping up in comment sections across the Internet, a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters confirms — once again — that climatologists almost unanimously believe that climate change is directly related to human-made carbon emissions.
Researchers pored over nearly 12,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers from 1991 to 2011. These papers, according to Michael Todd at Pacific Standard, represented the work of 29,083 authors and 1,980 journals. The conclusion could hardly be stronger: 97 percent of scientists agree that anthropogenic, or human-caused, global warming exists.
...
"That suggests both a consensus, and an overwhelming one," adds Todd.
"The public perception of a scientific consensus on [anthropogenic global warming] is a necessary element in public support for climate policy," conclude the study's authors. And yet, according to Pew Internet Research (PDF), 57 percent of Americans are unaware that there is an overwhelming scientific consensus.

Riddle: "How many scientists with hard evidence contradicting AGW would it require to outweigh this consensus?"
Answer: "One."
If it’s real. Why do you have to keep asserting that it is real. You sound as confident as evolutionists.
These are not rocket scientists!!
97%?? Really?? Who did they poll...LIBERALS?
Reading from the article:
66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW,
32.6% endorsed AGW,
0.7% rejected AGW and
0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming
It’s a consensus alright: 32.6% endorse AGW.
The inverse of Shakespeare: “Thou doth protesteth too much.”
Government funds research showing a need for more government.
Researchers produce results showing a need for more government funding.
All you need to know about the circle jerk that passes for public-funded science.
LOL! I needed that...
Drum roll... Bush's fault!
The climate of the earth has not changed in over 16 years! I had heard this from several entities, so I thought I would just document it here. Since one cannot rely on US MSM I went to the UK. Ref: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2217286/Global-warming-stopped-16-years-ago-reveals-Met-Office-report-quietly-released—chart-prove-it.html (Just don’t rely on Brit Scientists who favor Global Warming, their emails were used to conspire in favor of GW.
BTW “Climate Change” is an alteration of Global Warming, so Al (The Idiot and College Crap out and C Science Student) GORE could keep his unearned Nobel prize and money. He loves money. Ask the saffron robed MONKS ... and Jan 02, 2013 · Al Jazeera announced a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore (another payoff?) ... and there was the 2006 masseuse who claimed Al wanted a “Happy Ending” but he didn’t get paid off (LOL).
Why Climate Change? So we can pay an unwarranted carbon tax to the UN for distribution to third world countries who render more pollution than the US which has reduced its emissions. Uncle Sucker to the rescue.
Is it real or is it believable?
Some things we hold to be true..
the sky is blue..
or is it?
I never evolved .. personally.
How’d it feeel.
Isn’t it ironic that whenvre and wherever Al Gore shows up, there is a record cold spell? Don’t tell me the Almighty doesn’t have a sense of humor!
posted as found.
who wants to let Statistics get in the way of a good scam?
obviously a significant chunk of the “scientific’ community and then some..
I must have missed the news stories about all the islands that went under when the ocean levels rose as predicted by Al Gore and the other Global Warming pimps.
What percentage of Islamic clerics think that Mohammad was a prophet of Allah again?
Barbara Streisand is a “climatologist.”
Just like the overwhelming consensus, in the early 15th century, that the earth is flat.
business is doing well in Vanatua,, there are 80 islands in that group yaknow, not every island is threatened, tourism is up.. give their PR firm a big thumb up on that one.

And they want to fix it by taking more control and money from us. The earth will be healed if we give more money and power to liberal assholes like Al Gore.
