Global arming -scientific consensus

This is a must bookmark page for use in those debates where the alleged lack of scientific proof of concept is trotted out. Short of it is that there is no peer-reviewed publication in the science world that denies GW is taking place.

In the words of the abstract: "In this Essay, [Naomi] Oreskes analyzes the existing scientific literature to show that there is a robust consensus that anthropogenic global climate change is occurring. Thus, despite claims sometimes made by some groups that there is not good evidence that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities, the scientific community is in overwhelming agreement that such evidence is clear and persuasive."

Science -- Oreskes 306 (5702): 1686
