97 out of 100 scientists believe in climate change

Contrary to the majority of news reports that argue there is an even balance between those who believe in man-made climate change and those who think it’s a hoax—new data suggests that ninety-seven out of 100 scientists actually believe in global warming (and humans’ negative effect on the environment).

The report is based on questions posed to 1,372 scientists. Nearly all the experts agreed that it is “very likely that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been responsible for most of the unequivocal warming of the Earth’s average global temperature in the second half of the twentieth century.”

Crap, crap, and more crap. "Most actively publishing" is not a reasonable criteria upon which to base expertise.

OK, and I'm willing to bet that 97 out of the 100 scientists they polled are a) Liberals and b) Idiots.

The truth is the planet's climate is changing and acting strangely. Areas are more hot/cold than they should be. To dismiss this fact as one belonging to liberals and idiots does not advance the debate.
Economic and environmental benefits come from clean products, services, and practices. That is the truth.

This is absolute typical junk science from the ultimate junk scientists! 1. Which scientists were polled... all those attending a convention about climate change? 2. There are over 30,000 scientists around the world who believe AGW is absolutely false. 3. This link will show the methods used to forecast the extreme AGW, are flawed at the core: http://www.climatescienceinternational.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=...:armstronggreensoon-may-4-2010 4. Here are 150 expert scientists who met in Copenhagen to challenge AGW: http://www.cnw.ca/fr/releases/archive/December2009/08/c8563.html 5. There are over 30,000 scientists and more every day who are joining the cry against AGW as a so called "settled science": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIe2JCUc_pA&feature=player_embedded 5. Read this: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/12/global_warming_and_the_settled.html 6. Now read this... definitely not all scientists agree: http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/Monckton-Ca...

Give the lame AGW theory a rest.

As you see, a comments of full frontal attack on the *facta* of climate change still makes our Society Crazies type back in droves. Why? Because they are essentially selfish & stupid -- they cling to any pathetic reason to waste more fuel, buy more plastic stuff, and avoid advanced education of any kind. Social Darwanism should cure over time...

I love how al gore (note the lack of capitalization on his name) tries preaching to us about how we need to conserve the environment, yet it's been a proven fact that he has a private jet and utilizes 7x the amount of energy in his home than the average American family does.

Democrats, LOL.

Have you noticed how abusive the apologists always are and how they always try to change the subject to politics and toss personal abuse on people? There may be a good counter argument. But these folks only know how to be abusive. Makes me ask: "Is that all ya got?"
