The IPCC (the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) published a consensus statement about climate change as follows; "In its most recent assessment, IPCC states unequivocally that the consensus of scientific opinion is that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities: "Human activities ... are modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents ... that absorb or scatter radiant energy. ... [M]ost of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations". Created in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Programme, IPCC's purpose is to evaluate the state of climate science as a basis for informed policy action, primarily on the basis of peer-reviewed and published scientific literature. Recently they published a review of ten years of every published paper dealing with climate change (934). What percent of these do you think disagreed with the consensus?

Conservatives claim that a lot of scientists think it's bunk. So let's hear what percent of published papers in a ten year span said it's bunk. Anyone?

OK, well I see that no conservatives are willing to answer this question so congrats to you who said zero%
"Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position."

Scorbore; you posted the same list last time. You found the .5% of scientists who have published SINCE the reference I listed, who disagree with the consensus. Nothing new to add eh?

zero percent. anyone who claims to be a scientist but who disagrees is not really a scientist. maybe a corporate propagandist claiming to be a scientist, or an idiot who will pretend to be anything not realizing that titles have meaning. any scientist or any person who pays attention to what researchers say has known for years that we are dramatically altering our climte. it's not new information.

many scientist believe in uniformitism. that is slow constant change.

many believe in this, or else they can't graduate.

i would hazard a guess that a great percentage of atomopheric scientist would automatically state that global warming is occurring.[although during the seventies and eighties they were declaring global cooling]

if we look at the great drought mentioned in the bible [gen 41:15]that lasted 7 years, we have to ask, what human back then caused it?

the american and south american indians mention again and again of massive long stretches of droughts that hit the area wiping out tribes. again i ask, what human back then caused it?

the very desert soil at the foot of the great pyrimids of giza, especially the sphynxs structure itself, conclusively demonstrate that before egypt became mostly desert, it once many tens of thousands of years ago, it was a rain forest with periods of monsoons. again i ask, what man caused it to be so arid today?

i believe in air pollution, but the history of many cultures demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that earth herself modifies the weather ; to which i add: by the geologic stratigraphical changes that occur 24/7 from the interior right up to ionosphere. the earth is very active and so expect to see suddent and violent changes around the world especially around the fault lines. the earth has been on a lunch break for the last 4 thousand years or so. now she's getting ready to shake her thang on the dance floor.

recommendations: get the 10 edition of the boy scout manuel and commit it to memory, then practice survival skills right in your own back yard. to motivate you, keep repeating the mantra: remember Hurricane Katrina.

carbon dioxide and monoxide are the main causes of the global warming CO2 is produced by cars factories burning stuff Etc. but CO2 is not always a problem for example if the world has a lots of plants CO2 would not be a problem but because of humans lots of plants are gone Carbon monoxide is produced also in cars and if you lighted a candle and putted a jar on it it will produce CO witch is toxic

No idea. I think I'll side with Scorbore...

Think its either a bunch of bunk or the solution requires exterminating more people. Neither is acceptable to me.

Everyone that is not paid by the govt. and told that if they find global warming, the govt. will pay for more studies by them
