Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling

There are plenty of individual scientists who think human caused global warming is bunk, but the community as a whole has reached concensus on numerous occasions that human activity is a major factor in climate change.

Red is 100% right on this issue. The concensus of the scientific community is that human activity is contributing to golbal climatic change.

 

where have ya'll been?

"The scientific consensus is clearly expressed in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 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 (3). 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" [p. 21 in (4)].

IPCC is not alone in its conclusions. In recent years, all major scientific bodies in the United States whose members' expertise bears directly on the matter have issued similar statements. For example, the National Academy of Sciences report, Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions, begins: "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise" [p. 1 in (5)]. The report explicitly asks whether the IPCC assessment is a fair summary of professional scientific thinking, and answers yes: "The IPCC's conclusion that most of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations accurately reflects the current thinking of the scientific community on this issue" [p. 3 in (5)].

Others agree. The American Meteorological Society (6), the American Geophysical Union (7), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) all have issued statements in recent years concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling (8)."

 

A mosquito bite is a pain but it quickly goes away. That's all we are: a mosquito bite on the arm of the planet.

 

And against whom do I discriminate? Leftist alarmists and fear mongerers? And zip locks give you cancer!:dis:

 

I'm phucked! That's what I bring my sandwiches to work in

I guess we are all out of luck. If you use aluminum foil, then the worry about Alzheimers........

 

Well, I thought it was obvious. Humans are a mere irritant with no long term effect.
