Authors of seven climate consensus studies. conclusions: "Depending on exactly how you measure the expert consensus, it’s somewhere between 90% and 100% that agree humans are responsible for climate change, with most of our studies finding 97% consensus among publishing climate scientists." "The greater the climate expertise among those surveyed, the higher the consensus on human-caused global warming."
Thus: 1) most scientists believe in global warming being man made. 2) the smartest scientists in this field, generally all lean towards it being "man made".
Its time to get real. At this point its basically "lying" or borderlineing it, if you say "global warming isnt man made". If you dont listen to the smartest people on the planet on the issue that do research into it.... what is even the point? You can believe whatever you want, if it makes you feel better. Those that do it, are typically people that dont care about the enviroment and have vested money intrests in saying so, that is my opinion anyways. |
Sorry to hijack your conversation, but what exactly do those percentages of scientists agree on?
Most of these studies state that the scientists agree on an 'anthropogenic component' to climate change. The disagreement seems to be on how big a component. And none of them (at least among IPCC WG1 & 2 scientists) seem to make the claim that the human contributions are likely to be catastrophic.
Politicians, environmentalists and the media are blowing this issue out of proportion and the solution always seems to be to give the government and the UN more power, which is ridiculously dangerous.
There is an economic solution though that involves reducing the power of government:

Don't expect scientists dependent on government grants or politicians to even entertain the idea though.
