97% of Scientists agree..........Al Gore knows what he is talking about

[Cuyo]

Wait until Pachauri gets a load of this: “The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change misled the press and public into believing that thousands of scientists backed its claims on manmade global warming, according to Mike Hulme, a prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider. The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was “only a few dozen experts,” he states in a paper for Progress in Physical Geography, co-authored with student Martin Mahony,” as reported in the National Post.

Doh!!!


Climate Change Fraud - Global warming defectors ? at the highest levels

That required some hard core cherry picking, as I broke down several pages ago after reading the first 11 pages of the 21 page document.

Don't be a child.

 

[saveliberty]

And the idiots continue the yap-yap in leiu of any thing real to say.

...as opposed to your misleading, inaccurate and fraudulent posts?

We're still trying to find any Pacific atoll that is now underwater as a resultant loss of ice from the "melting polar ice caps"

We suspect that baby seals are drinking up the melted ice, or maybe tree rings are soaking it up?

Man made climate change is not real. Nobody with common sense believes in it anymore. Even the support from the Euro-weenies has dropped. Move on.

Where I come from, we don't aspire to common.

 

[Oddball]

Well here, you're very common.

lol...al gore was all about warming...now these guys alter the term to simply change and this means they agree al gore is right

The scientific term has long been "climate change" - it's the popular media that latched onto "global warming".

 

[Coyote]

"very likely"

This shows they are just guessing at the cause.

No. It shows that they are speaking accurately - scientists will almost never say something is absolute - particularly complex systems.

Report: 97 percent of scientists say man-made climate change is real - Science Fair: Science and Space News - USATODAY.com

Forget the four out of five dentists who recommend Trident…. Try the 97 out of 100 scientists that believe in man-made climate change.

This data comes from a new survey out this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The study found that 97 percent of scientific experts agree that climate change is "very likely" caused mainly by human activity.

The report is based on questions posed to 1,372 scientists. Nearly all the experts agreed that it is "very likely that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been responsible for most of the unequivocal warming of the Earth's average global temperature in the second half of the twentieth century."

As for the 3 percent of scientists who remain unconvinced, the study found their average expertise is far below that of their colleagues, as measured by publication and citation rates.

Before April 20th 1862, 97% of all scientists believed in spontaneous generation.

Then Louis Pasteur kinda screwed that up.

Skip down to the theory of Germ Theory

Dumbest assertion I've seen in ohhh about 7 days.

And today....3% of the scientists remain skeptical that the earth is round.

Climate Change Skeptics...the new Flat Earthers?

When I step onto an airliner, I don't want it to be "very likely" that Bernoulli's Principle will work to keep the jet in the air.

You want to go and re-arrange the lives of everyone in the world by force, you better have a fat lot more than "very likely".

Like I said - the almost never say a complex theory is absolute or fact and climate change is very complex.

Who is more believable: those who are saying it's "very likely" human activities are involved in climate change or those who are categoricaly denying man can have any effect on climate? "Very likely" vs "absolutely not".

 

[Oddball]

Going by the proven fact that man's contribution to global CO2 output is in the low single digits as a percentage, it's not any kind of a stretch that "very unlikely" is the most logical and believable answer.

Even a retard will tell you that the climate changes. The "very likely" sentiment isn't very definitive.

Oh yes.

He would have made more selling out to the oil companies like Bush

Thread over.

Going by the proven fact that man's contribution to global CO2 output is in the low single digits as a percentage, it's not any kind of a stretch that "very unlikely" is the most logical and believable answer.

The atmospheric CO2 concentration has risen strongly since about 1850, from 280 ppm (a value typical for warm periods during at least the past 400,000 years) to 380 ppm.

How much of the recent CO2 increase is due to human activities? "...In summary, we know that the rise in atmospheric CO2 is entirely caused by fossil fuel burning and deforestation because many independent observations show that the carbon content has also increased in both the oceans and the land biosphere (after deforestation). If the oceans or land had contributed to the rise in atmospheric CO2, they would hold less carbon. Their response to warming may be real, but it is less than their response to increasing CO2 and other climate changes for the moment."

The major change that occurred during the past 150 years was industrialization and also changes in the land surface through deforestation, reforestation, urbanization and desertification. It's more then just CO2 direct CO2 emissions. The building of the Hoover Dam produced a mini area of climate change (and caused earthquakes) - the constant claim that human activity can not possibly cause global climate change seems refuted by many smaller areas around the world with micro-climate changes (for example big cities).

So, what is this "proven fact"?

LMAO

I was wondering how long it would take someone to mention Bush.

Tell me. Is Palin next???? She had to have something to do with it. LOL

I don't think there's this much of a Consensus on gravity.
