I Believe In Science Of Climate Change

Consider the narrative of the climate change deniers: 97% of the world's scientists and 200 of the world's leading scientific organizations are all engaged in a conspiracy to fool the public, opposed by a plucky little band of oil companies and Republican senators. Ha!

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has reaffirmed the position of its Board of Directors and the leaders of 18 respected organizations, who concluded based on multiple lines of scientific evidence that global climate change caused by human activities is now underway, and it is a growing threat to society.

“The vast preponderance of evidence, based on years of research conducted by a wide array of different investigators at many institutions, clearly indicates that global climate change is real, it is caused largely by human activities, and the need to take action is urgent,” said Alan I. Leshner, chief executive officer of AAAS and executive publisher of the journal Science.

The following page lists the nearly 200 worldwide scientific organizations that hold the position that climate change has been caused by human action. from NASA-Ca Govt http://www.opr.ca.gov/facts/list-of-scientific-organizations.html

Yeah. I work with actual scientists who study climate change impacts.

Either they're incompetent and all their peers around the world are incompetent in some sort of grotesque anomaly.

Or they're all engaged in a vast conspiracy where they are either magically all so politically biased they are blind to THE TRUTH - or they're paid off.

All of these scientists worldwide have academic freedom, which gives them the full legal right to say what they want without government interference. How do I know this? I was chief negotiator for union of university academics for seven years.

[i]This conspiracy is impossible. Listen to the fucking scientists.[/i]

Why don’t people talk about acid rain or ozone layer any more?

@MrBrownstone CLIMATE 101: OZONE DEPLETION

"Over the past 30 years humans have made progress in stopping damage to the ozone layer by curbing the use of certain chemicals. But more remains to be done to protect and restore the atmospheric shield that sits in the stratosphere about 9 to 18 miles (15 to 30 kilometers) above the Earth's surface."
