Scientific opinion on climate change and global warming
SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT FOR HUMAN-CAUSED CLIMATE CHANGE
Environmental groups have warned of the contribution to climate change from human activities for decades. It has taken the scientific community many years to begin making definitive statements about the accuracy of these claims. It should be noted that while the overwhelming majority of scientists now accept that human activities are a major cause of global warming, there is still a small number of scientists who disagree with these conclusions.
evidence supporting global warming & human causes
The fact that carbon dioxide absorbs and emits IR radiation has been known for over a century. The recent rise in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is greater than any in hundreds of thousands of years and this is human-caused.
The historical temperature record shows a rise of 0.4–0.8 °C over the last 100 years, and the current warmth is unusual in the past 1000 years. Climate change attribution studies using both models and observations find that the warming of the last 50 years is likely caused by human activity. Natural variability (including solar variation) alone cannot explain the recent change. Climate models can reproduce the observed trend only when greenhouse gas forcing is included.
is a scientific consensus behind all of the above, reflected in official statements by professional associations related to climate science
Climate models predict more warming, and other climate effects such as sea level rise, more frequent and severe storms, drought and heat waves in the future.
What an easy post to destroy, you people pay attention, you let an idiot get away with this post and have not effectively addressed this.
One, the guy is just using links, press releases, articles and propaganda nothing more.
Where is the education and intelligence, can this nut job only point to others work and say look-see, this is not debate, its obfuscation.
He gave us a link. I followed the link, it takes you to the IPCC, the ultra secret IPCC, ever see an IPCC report in full, nope, its all top secret, ever see a list of names of IPCC scientist, nope, why wont the scientist allow their names to be associated with the IPCC, simple, credibility, scientist actually do tell the truth and the IPCC does not.
So produce a report not a link to articles simply stating, "the sky is falling, we all agree".
Debate with your education, provide a proven fact not a theory.

Interesting, the environuts made an unsubstantiated claim than paid scientist money to "back-fit" the data to support the claims, this has cost billions of dollars and years, apon years to do. How did the environuts no CO2 was a man made danger before the scientist.
Definitive statements about the accuracy of claims, what are these definitive statements, they could be anything, no statement is given, its up to the reader imagination to decide, the definitive statement is "nobody has an answer because the data is too complex to prove the accuracy of the environuts claims", this is definitive and all scientist agree, that is the consensus.
The fact that carbon dioxide absorbs and emits IR radiation
Absolutely true, create heat and CO2 will emit it as fast as its absord and created, CO2 just as easily absorbs the opposite of heat, cold, Its a scientific fact that CO2 is best at storing coldness, not heat, heat by CO2 is emitted immeadiately, Cold is stored by CO2 and released slowly in comparison to heat. This is why it takes billions of dollars to try and prove otherwise.
models and observations find that the warming of the last 50 years is likely caused by human activity
Why are scientist and technical writers of this subject careful to use the word "likely", simple, they must, there is no proof.
Climate models can reproduce the observed trend only when greenhouse gas forcing is included.
Climate models are programs written by programers to attain a desired result for scientist. Lets see a report, a real report and not an aritcle and we will all see scientist admit they must make up facts because of the lack of data, the scientist admit they must make millions of manipulations to get the desired result. Scientists admit they do not have computers powerful to handle all the data and parameters.
lets see a report, not an article, its not scientific to debate an article.
There is a scientific consensus behind all of the above, reflected in official statements by professional associations related to climate science
Here is the kicker, this article states the scientific consensus is made by professional associations, it does not say a consenses by scientist.
Predict, thats all, I predict the same and I am right because the historic record shows that everything predict occurs on a regular basis.
I will make a prediction about tomorrow based on my SimCity 4 simulation, the sun will rise tomorrow, some places will be hot, some places will be could, it will rain in other places and only be cloudy in others. Think I am wrong, bet me. My one year prediction is there will be record highs and record lows in which we can use to come up with an average.

Pay attention to whats posted if you want to easily destroy a moron's post. Over and over whats posted is cherry picked or contains the information that reveals facts that disprove a global warming crisis.
Either way, I say we are causing the earth to warm and its green energy causing it, green energy is an oxymoron, production of green energy power plants creates billions of tons of CO2 that has increased at an extreme rate in the last two years. The green energy industry is now dumping the CO2 into the atmosphere faster than any time in our history, if they are right they will prove it even if they must destroy the earth to do it.
