Editorials continuously claim that there’s “no scientific consensus” that human activity is causing global warming.
The level of consensus in the scientific community concerning climate change is incredibly strong. The National Academy of Sciences, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (w/ 2500 member scientists), The American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), have ALL issued statements concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling.
Of 928 abstracts published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003 not a single one disagreed with the consensus position (source: Naomi Oreskes “The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change”).
It’s absolutely disheartening and beyond belief when media promotes partisan misinformation on a subject of such incredible importance to all people. In doing so they abdicate their responsibility to serve our best interests. |
