As somebody previously commented - 95 percent of climate change scientists insist that we are closely at the tipping point of an irreversible change to the planets climate.
In Britain the government's scientific adviser Sir David King, hardly your typical left-winger, agrees that we are at the point of irreversible catastrophe unless we reduce global carbon emissions by 90 percent by 2020.
The UN's recent report confirms that climate change is a reality. The IPCC report by the world's leading climate change scientists also say it is happening, as did the Stern report here in the UK.
Yet we have ill-informed people, who have never had a peer-reviewed scientific paper published on the subject, claiming the contrary. I refer to this as "the Gallileo syndrome."

Can someone explain something that has bothered me. Algore writes a book with a claim, and then thousands of scientists crawl out of the woodwork saying "Duh, yeah, he's like right!". Where were all these guys before algore came along? Sleeping on the job?? |
They were saying that before, actually.
You just hadn't heard, I guess? |
Yeah sure they were. And they were issuing UN reports, too?  Care to cite one? |
A U.N. report?
You'll only accept a citation from a U.N. report?
Ummm ... are you seriously saying that you don't remember anyone talking about climate change before Al Gore? Seriously?
Well. Okay. If that's how you want to be about it, but I think that your deliberate obtuseness illustrates the depth of your intellectual dishonesty.
