I give you climate scientists and engineers and you dismiss that and come back with organizations? Maybe we should let our boss's vote for us in elections too.
You do realize most of those organizations don't study climate so rely on the faulty IPCC report. Here's yet another review of the consensus: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/10/23/pbs-frontline-climate-change-special-cites-bogus-consensus/ Scientific theories are never proven by a show of hands, of course. Otherwise, the Earth would still be considered flat and space travel impossible. It is indeed those who go against the flowindependent, original thinkers who are usually responsible for our most meaningful advances in science. ... First, it is important to realize that, of the prominent national and international science bodies that have issued official statements that are in support of the CO2/climate crisis hypothesis, *none* released results that show a majority of their members agreeing with the assertion. the president of the Royal Society of London drafted a resolution in favour and circulated it to other academies of science inviting co-signing. The president of the RSC, not a member of the [RSCs] Academy of Science, received the invitation. He considered it consistent with the position of the great majority of scientists, as repeatedly but erroneously claimed by Kyoto proponents, and so signed it. The resolution was not referred to the Academy of Science for comment, not even to its council or president. ... When one eliminates reviewers with clear vested interest, we end up with a grand total of just seven who may have been independent and impartial, according to Australian climate data analyst, John McLean (see<http://mclean.ch/climate/docs/IPCC_review_updated_analysis.pdf> his report). And, two of those are known to vehemently disagree with the statement. Prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider Dr. Mike Hulme even admits that only a few dozen experts in the specific field of detection and attribution studies, not thousands as is commonly asserted by the IPCC and others, reached a consensus that human activities are having a significant influence on the climate (p. 10, 11 of Hulmes April 12, 2010 paper in Progress in Physical Geography athttp://tinyurl.com/2b3cq3r). It is travesty that the UN permits this misunderstanding to continue uncorrected. To meaningfully assert that there is a consensus in any field, we need to actually have convincing evidence. And the best way to gather this evidence is to conduct unbiased, comprehensive worldwide polls. Since this has never been done in the vast community of scientists who research the causes of global climate change, we simply do not know what, if any, consensus exists among these experts. Lindzen concludes: there is no [known] consensus, unanimous or otherwise, about long-term climate trends and what causes them. Frontline did a disservice to the public telling them otherwise.
