Quote:In a letter dated Tuesday, 31 leading U.S. scientific organizations sent members of Congress a no-nonsense message that human-caused climate change is real, poses risks to society and is backed by overwhelming evidence.
“Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research concludes that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver,” the letter states. “This conclusion is based on multiple independent lines of evidence and the vast body of peer-reviewed science.”

I think it's more likely that you're stupid.
It's why their climate models have been bang on correct for 20 years... Oh. Nevermind.
Is "bang on correct" a technical term? I'd like to know where it falls on a scale ranging from "absolutely inaccurate" to "absolutely accurate". Keep in mind that "highly accurate", "moderately accurate", and "partially accurate" are also on this spectrum.

It's hard for scientists to get gubment cheese without fear-mongering.
I'll just post the official statement adopted by the American Physical Society:
Quote:Earth's changing climate is a critical issue and poses the risk of significant environmental, social and economic disruptions around the globe. While natural sources of climate variability are significant, multiple lines of evidence indicate that human influences have had an increasingly dominant effect on global climate warming observed since the mid-twentieth century. Although the magnitudes of future effects are uncertain, human influences on the climate are growing. The potential consequences of climate change are great and the actions taken over the next few decades will determine human influences on the climate for centuries.
Note that they're both acknowledging that there's an amount of uncertainty involved, they aren't denying that climate change is real. It's a more nuanced statement, which may go over some people's heads, but it represents how scientists actually think. Scientists constantly work with uncertainty which means from time to time they'll get something wrong.

Climate charlatans keep telling us what's going to happen and they keep being horribly wrong. At some point you'd think their blind sheep would get a little wary spreading the word.

Is it ironic that you call people blind sheep? I doubt you've done more than gobble up the headlines you've been fed. The almost all of the research and data is freely available on the web; you could look into it at any time and come to your own conclusion. But go ahead, keep following your pundits like a blind sheep.

So we changed global warming to climate change and now we're changing "melting poles, cities under water and a black hole devouring all of us" to "something might happen". Cool.
