Science says that human emissions of GHG's are causing our current global warming and that is happening at a faster rate than any other warming period of our past (that we know of), there is consensus on this.
You see? This is exactly the problem. The globe is not warming faster than any other period. In fact, we are in a cooling cycle right now. Global warming supports tend to spread mis-information in order to get their way with a complete disregard for the facts.
And I guess you missed the entire Climate Gate scandal?

so, are you denying that that the CO2 levels in the atmosphere today, have never reached this extreme level when compared to the levels of the last hundred thousand or so years?....are you denying that the ice core samples analyzed for this CO2 level, are faked, or wrong? are you saying that small molecular changes to the composition of the atmosphere, cannot result in profound adverse affects over time? your dismissive attitude regarding decades of scientific study done by climatologists around the world, calls into question your motives for doing so.
Reminds me of the ads from the 70s with the indian dropping tears because of pollution.

oh, in case you wanted more, someone has taken the time to go through about 5000 emails, 250 of which are noteworthy. i'll start you off with one:
So while not endorsing this attempt at undermining our basis for current exceptional global warming, I must say I find myself in sympathy with much of what Will Hutton writes. In particular his conclusion that the debate around climate change is fundamentally about power and politics rather than the environment seems undeniable. There are not that many "facts" about (the meaning of) climate change which science can unequivocally reveal. I am copying this to Asher Minns, since Asher has been giving the issue of "sound science" and Tyndall's reaction to it some thought recently. Mike [Hulme]

Here is a simple exercise for you. Lets pick ONE of these organizations you list and find specifically in any of their official literature where they "Endorse Man Mad Global Warming"
American Chemical Society.
Since I am a standing member, Lets start with this one.
“Careful and comprehensive scientific assessments have clearly demonstrated that the Earth’s
climate system is changing in response to growing atmospheric burdens of greenhouse gases (GHGs)
and absorbing aerosol particles.” (IPCC, 2007) “Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by
human activities, and poses significant risks for—and in many cases is already affecting—a broad
range of human and natural systems.” (NRC, 2010a) “The potential threats are serious and actions
are required to mitigate climate change risks and to adapt to deleterious climate change impacts that
probably cannot be avoided.” (NRC, 2010b, c)
This statement reviews key probable climate change impacts and recommends actions required to
mitigate or adapt to current and anticipated consequences.
The real question is why conservatives have a religious and completely unfounded belief that humans can't ever harm the environment.
James Lovelock, the maverick scientist who became a guru to the environmental movement with his “Gaia” theory of the Earth as a single organism, has admitted to being “alarmist” about climate change and says other environmental commentators, such as Al Gore, were too. . . .
“The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened,” Lovelock said.

I do not deny the CO2 levels in the atmosphere today. The levels are certainly caused by man. But at the same time, CO2 is not alone responsible for climate change, as the Man Made Climate Change theorists insist.
Other factors most of which is solar activity, have created all, if any, increases in mean earth temperature for as long as it can and has been measured, just as it has to the other planets in this solar system.
And, I might add that earth is the only planet that has any life on it...in case you forgot.
schools should be teaching about the sun cycles
not scaremongering the kids
with ideas that man controls the climate by driving around in cars.
It's all part of the Agenda 21 program to depopulate down to 500 million people worldwide and control where people live, what they live in, what they eat.
Come to think of it, why do you and the OWS crowd only hate corporations when they are not propagandizing for a Progressive agenda like Climate Change? I was sure you would be on this like butter on bread....
And please, must you really use that bogus hockey stick graph for your argument?
This is far from the only investment in science education that philanthropists are making. The Carnegie Corp. is underwriting a National Research Council panel that is drawing up a new set of science education standards for release next year.
The Carnegie effort follows on the successful launch of a set of “common core” standards in math and language that more than 40 states have pledged to adopt. Standards are the basic set of skills and information that students are expected to master at each grade level. The common core standards were developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers -- with heavy financial support from foundations, notably the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
CC is Really International, driven by UNESCO and Agenda 21: This is how sustainable development will be pushed into every school and university
Bill Gates revealed his own population goals in February, 2010, at the invitation-only Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference in Long Beach, California, when he gave his keynote speech on global warming: “Innovating to Zero!” In a youtube video available here, Gates stated that CO2 emissions must be reduced to zero by 2050 and advised those in attendance that population had much to do with the increase in CO2. Claiming that each individual on the planet puts out an average of about five tons of CO2 per year, Gates stated that “Somehow we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero…

It would have been a simple exercise for you to click the link I provided and click the highlighted agency yourself.
our ability to quantitatively predict how the future
climate will respond to continued and increasing greenhouse-gas and fine-particle emissions is still
limited

so, there is no need in your opinion, to cut back on man-made CO2 output, because solar activity is the culprit, and CO2 is not a contributing factor. therefore, we should continue to produce more.
I am saying the effects are insignificant when compared to Solar activity, which, can not be controlled or predicted.
You were trying to assert that there's no consensus.
Climate science makes no solid claim on how AGW is going to affect us or when

No they haven't been saying it's going to destroy everything in a few years.
Show me proof of this.
And who is we? YOU brought up GAIA and Lovelock or whatever his name is, no one else did. You brought up Gates, no one else did. And why should I answer a post of yours that asserts there's something wrong or evil about Paganism. Why should I entertain your fantasies?edit on 15-4-2013 by Kali74 because: (no reason given)
