I like your definition of mainstream: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change This article documents current scientific opinion on climate change as given by synthesis reports, scientific bodies of national or international standing, and surveys of opinion among climate scientists. It does not document the views of individual scientists, individual universities, or laboratories, nor self-selected lists of individuals such as petitions. National and international science academies and professional societies have assessed the current scientific opinion, in particular recent global warming. These assessments have largely followed or endorsed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) position of January 2001 that An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system... There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.[1]Since 2007 no scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion. A few organisations hold non-committal positions. |
From the article in the OP:
Edit:
Sooo beaten.
