The last organization to carry a dissenting opinion was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists - a shill - and even they changed their mind back in 2007. And a review of peer reviewed work on the subject shows us that there is a 97% consensus that exists within that work - and this remains true even when the authors categorize their own work (rather than anonymous raters).
So on one side, we have that. On the other...TEO (a 9/11 truther who lives in a remote weapons cache), TI (a self-proclaimed scientist who can't quite wrap her head around evolution), and PkrBum (a guy who cannot even effectively communicate his own political philosophy).
I report. You decide.
You really need to accept facts rather than your outdated information.
As you know, Professor Phil Jones was the center of the Global Warming Scam at East Anglia University. Their program was considered the epitome of Global Warming Information. The disclosure of thousands of e-mails proving their efforts to conceal information discredit and even prevent opposing views from being published has wrecked the scam, hopefully forever. Data used by the United Nations IPCC and NASA findings came from EAU.
14th February, 2010Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995
Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing (it has now been disclosed that all the “raw data” was DUMPED!
There has been no global warming since 1995
Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes
Phil Jones admitted his record keeping is 'not as good as it should be.
WHAT????
[…]
Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.
Phil Jones has said that he considered suicide for his part in this worldwide scam.
Let us also recall: The e-mails leaked in the fall of 2009 allow us to trace the machinations of a small but influential band of British and US climate scientists who played the lead role in the IPCC reports. It appears that this group, which controlled access to basic temperature data, was able to produce a "warming" by manipulating the analysis of the data, but refused to share information on the basic data or details of their analysis with independent scientists who requested them -- in violation of Freedom of Information laws. In fact, they went so far as to keep any dissenting views from being published -- by monopolizing the peer-review process, aided by ideologically cooperative editors of prestigious journals, like Science and Nature.
We learn from the e-mails that the ClimateGate gang was able to "hide the decline" [of global temperature] by applying what they termed as "tricks," and that they intimidated editors and forced out those judged to be "uncooperative." No doubt, thorough investigations, now in progress or planned, will disclose the full range of their nefarious activities. But it is clear that this small cabal was able to convince much of the world that climate disasters were impending -- unless drastic steps were taken. Not only were most of the media, public, and politicians misled, but so were many scientists, national academies of science, and professional organizations -- and even the Norwegian committee that awarded the 2007 Peace Prize to the IPCC and Al Gore, the chief apostle of climate alarmism.
