Suuuuuuuuure, if you dig hard enough you will find someone to disagree; so what? There are "scientists" who STILL disagree that AIDS is caused by HIV. So the big what? The scientific consensus is that it has been proved beyond all doubt that AIDS is caused by HIV. Quote:

This is a classic example of poising the well. The church once said that the Earth was the centre of the universe, so I'm no longer going to believe anything the church says. Quote:

1) It is not "evenly split" whatsoever. As said, the scientific consensus, by a huge majority, is that global warming is most certainly happening; the only real controversy left is how much human activities cause and/or add to it, and even that issue is not so big any longer. 2) I was in science (albeit not climatology) till I had to go into semi-retirement. I'm quite capable of looking up the genuine science sources, and I do. That's where I check my facts. I can name sources for climatology science and global warming if you like. Now how about you? You have not given one single fact yet; it's never to late to start. |

Give me some sources and facts. And again, I disagree. And Fact on the consensus, I'm debating that statement first. |

You yourself have given so far zero facts and sources for all your claims.

Or disagree with the USA National Academy of Sciences. Or disagree with the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), all of whom explicitly acknowledge that global warming is taking place. Here is a paper on the actual scientific consensus, which gives the facts by analysing scientific abstracts in the ISI database on the global warming debate. It finds the scientific consensus overwhelmingly acknowledging that global warming is taking place. |

Sorry PennylessZ28, but by now it's clear that short-sighted, profit/power-motivated, me-first behaviors and attitudes are having a very negative impact on our world. Global warming is real. Nor is it the only serious problem we're causing.
So you think that everyone concerned with global warming has an agenda? You're probably right. I freely admit that I have an agenda. I'm concerned about the world my grandchildren will grow up in. I'm concerned about shifting, unstable weather patterns and the impact that will have on food sources. Unstable weather patterns can dramatically increase or decrease rain levels, and even temperatures. Global warming won't prevent an area used to warm weather from suffering freezing temperatures if winds that had always come up from the south suddenly start coming down from the north for example. I'm concerned about storms increasing in severity, the migration of dangerous southern insects northward, melting ice caps, rising seas decreasing the amount of land available, and yes, the impact on wildlife. We're close to losing the polar bear for starters. That's very different from the agenda of someone whose profits are impacted by global warming concerns. People who are concerned about global warming don't stand to make a lot of money on trying to stop or at least mitigate it. People who claim it isn't for real are those who profit from fossil fuels or other contributing factors, the 'scientists' they bought, and the fools who believe their rhetoric. In the case of the first two, money is the factor. The fools are swayed by fear, mis-information, need of a sense of security even if false, and/or justification of their own excesses. Some religious leaders have taken advantage of this. From much of what you've said, I suspect you've fallen for one of these. Diane |

Finally I will say that practically all learned climatologists will tell you that any warming occurring of any significance is related to changes in the sun...not anything man is doing. These are just socialistic scare tactics aimed at undermining the free market economy and capitalism. |
