Head Guy from AGU: "Many research scientists – including members of the American Geophysical Union – are dedicated to promoting discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. The scientific method that governs their work has been well established for centuries. Applied to the problem of climate change, the conclusions are clear: Our climate is out of balance and human activities are in all probability responsible for global warming. Climate scientists worldwide are in virtually unanimous agreement about the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence on this issue."Then the rebuttal:
Bell:"Are you indicating here that there is scientific evidence that there is indeed a human-caused climate crisis? And if so, which, exactly, human activities are causing it? AGW? Agriculture/land management? Urban heat islands? Rain forest depletion?
Yes… and according to exactly what scientific evidence? Climate models? Satellite data since it first became available in 1979?
...
Does AGU take issue with the accuracy of East Anglia-CRU quotations I cited as evidence of serious integrity and peer-review problems within important segments of the climate science community? Is this just a misinformed opinion of my own— or an issue to be dismissed of scant importance?"

HGfAGU: "Let me be more concise:
There is overwhelming scientific evidence that our climate is changing. The world’s climate scientists are in nearly unanimous agreement that humans are the cause. The same scientific method that has given us life saving vaccines, human flight, and electrical power generation now tells us we are influencing climate in potentially dangerous ways. Research funding has been key to advancing our knowledge about Earth system science and human impacts on it.
Buying into the arguments of climate change denialists when the evidence is so clear is like blithely taking advice from a banker about your health when all your doctors tell you there is a problem."
"Thank you for your simple clarification of what many may have erroneously regarded to be a complex issue...
So apparently they all agree that since humans are the only cause you mention, presumably there are no natural forcings that account for anything…and that climate is actually changing for the first time.
Excuse me for posing a few more pesky questions.
1) What benchmark temperature is climate changing from (now for the first time)? The period when T-Rex ruled and before we messed everything up? The Roman and Medieval Warm Periods? The 1930s?
2) How much, precisely, have human influences contributed? Can you cite solid scientific evidence that your nearly universal throngs have agreed with? What percent of them consider it a big deal to really worry about? And what, if anything measurable, (and at what costs) do those minions propose to do about it?
3) If climate didn’t change, wouldn’t it all just be called “weather”?
Thanks for clearly illuminating just how dangerous it is to challenge the orthodoxy that is discussed in my article.

HGfAGU: "For answers to your specific questions, I refer you to “America’s Climate Choices”, a series of reports on climate change, its implications for the U.S., and what we can do about it. Congress commissioned these reports, published in 2010, from the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences..." Blah blah blah...

GEORGE LOPEZ: I agree. If Sarah Palin becomes president .... I will move to Canada.
