Where do YOU stand on Anthropogenic climate change?
AGW= Anthropogenic Global Warming/ Man Made Global Warming
1. You are a strong environmentalist.
2. You believe humanity is responsible for climate change, and something needs to be done about it.
3. You believe humanity is responsible for climate change, but you feel that the cost of any current solutions is too high (basically, you like/accept the current situation).
4. You do not believe in man made climate change.

97.1% of climatologists who expressed an opinion on the subject believe anthropogenic global warming exists (man made climate change).

[quote]We analyze the evolution of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, examining 11 944 climate abstracts from 1991–2011 matching the topics 'global climate change' or 'global warming'. We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming. In a second phase of this study, we invited authors to rate their own papers. Compared to abstract ratings, a smaller percentage of self-rated papers expressed no position on AGW (35.5%). Among self-rated papers expressing a position on AGW, 97.2% endorsed the consensus. For both abstract ratings and authors' self-ratings, the percentage of endorsements among papers expressing a position on AGW marginally increased over time. Our analysis indicates that the number of papers rejecting the consensus on AGW is a vanishingly small proportion of the published research.[/quote]

7 RepliesI hate the environmental hysteria that comes along with it. I try to do my part. I'm increasingly doubtful that this is Americas problem though. It seems the green movement is targeting America even though there are so many other countries that do so much worse. I feel bad when I look at all the rare earths bellow us but we are still forced to buy them from china because we don't want to damage habitats. How much money is here but the environment is more valuable. *sigh* While China can ruin the oceans and blacken the skies all to their own benefit.
