Yeah right. Look at this chart here: http://www.jamespowell.org/files/stacks_image_733.png
Only 24 of the 13,950 articles that were examined by the autor or 0.17% or 1 in 581, clearly reject global warming or endorse a cause other than CO2 emissions for observed warming. 24 of almost 14,000 peer reviewed scientific articles. And you say "These climate scientists just can't come to a consensus." How much more fricking consensus do you want. For each and every climate scientist to have it tattooed on their blood foreheads? Lets look at the consensus another way, just to drive the point home. The 24 articles have been cited a total of 113 times over the nearly 21-year period, for an average of close to 5 citations each. That compares to an average of about 19 citations for articles answering to "global warming," for example. Four of the rejecting articles have never been cited; four have citations in the double-digits. The most-cited has 17. For an analysis of the 113 citations, see here. Only 50 of the citing articles are truly independent and peer-reviewed. Of one thing we can be certain: had any of the 24 articles presented the magic bullet that falsifies human-caused global warming, that article would be on its way to becoming one of the most-cited in the history of science. If there were such an article, one would not have to hunt for it. How much more agreement to you want? when 99.98% of the published articles agree and less than .02% appear to show otherwise? If Darwin on high came down from the mount and burned it into your forehead, would that help? Replacing settled science with an outright lie apparently for ideological reasons is tantamount to near national suicide, much like Stalin and Lysenko.
