Consensus on Global Warming
FredFnord writes "Well, here's an interesting one: the fine folks at Science Magazine have done an analysis of the last ten years' published scientific articles (articles from crank or non-peer-reviewed publications were not counted) on the subject of global climate change. The results themselves are interesting, but the most remarkable part was that, of the 928 papers they found, 75% accepted that global warming was caused by human activities, either explicitly or implicitly. 25% made no mention either way. And not a single paper asserted otherwise." JamesBell submits this article by a geologist which suggests that the Earth is in serious, imminent, unavoidable danger.
So Should I be Running climate prediction.net on my P4 Prescott or not?
the Bush administration affirmed that it would not do any steps towards preserving the environment if there would even be a remote chance that a single American might be temporarily inconvenience in doing so...
From the article:
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).The American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysica Union? What a bunch of communists. They are just trying to destroy our way of life. They don't want me to live my life the way I want. Now, where did I park my Ford Explorer? I gotta run and buy a pack of smokes...
[George W. Bush]: "All them scientists don't know nuthin. Ain't that right Andy boy?"
[Andrew Card]: "Yessir, that is absolutely correct sir. Don't know nuthin."
[George W. Bush]: "Ain't that right Scott towell?"
[Scott McClellan]: "Right in every way sir!"
[George W. Bush]: "Ain't that right Colonoscopy?"
[Colin Powell]: "I gotta get out of here."

Oh come now, you panicky Chicken Littles in lab coats!
We can just hide in our SUVs. They have heated seats.
Rich And Stupid is not so bad as Working For Rich And Stupid.
See, that's what happens when we start putting vehicles on Mars, too. That thing isn't aerosol powered, is it?
Yee-haw! That's the attitude I like, boy. I've got a cabient position open for ya, if you're interested. I love reading posts like these on the internets.
GWB
When you get to hell -- tell 'em Itchy sent ya!
Because back then, these big-ass creatures called 'dinosaurs' roamed the earth, and when they went swimming, it caused the sea level to rise.
Simple, really.
Oh yeah, plus sponges hadn't yet been invented.
Except that the sea level won't rise if the ice caps melt. Ice displaces more volume than water.
That's not what was shown in the documentary 'Waterworld'...and hey, if melted polar ice caps means a world with Kevin Costner with gills, well then, bring it on! I loves me a good freak show.
No effect AND destroy the environment you say!?!? I bet you also have faith that Republicans are for "small government" and that tax cuts stimulate the economy.
SO bush is just as bad as clinton. I am sure you republicans are proud of that.
evil is as evil does
Our government has recently enacted a Clean Air Act AND a Healthy Forests Initiative, so we can expect this whole global warming issue to resolve itself in a few months.
Share and rate p
Time for rampant hedonism and fornication. We're all doomed.
Can we get an exact date on the doom? I want to start the bacchanalia about a week before, so as to optimize my avoidance of consequences.
It's rare that you're presented with a knob whose only two positions are Make History and Flee Your Glorious Destiny.
Jesus told Bush it's all part of the Rapture, so don't worry about it.
All scientists once believed the Earth was flat, was supported on pillars or carried by Atlas etc.
Ah, I see your problem. You are confusing "scientists" with "religious nuts". The former base their theories on observations and critical thinking while the latter just go on wonky rants for no reason whatsoever.
