Based on our abstract ratings, we found that just over 4,000 papers took a position on the cause of global warming, 97.1% of which endorsed human-caused global warming. In the scientist self-ratings, nearly 1,400 papers were rated as taking a position, 97.2% of which endorsed human-caused global warming. Many papers captured in our literature search simply investigated an issue related to climate change without taking a position on its cause.

Our survey found that the consensus has grown slowly over time, and reached about 98% as of 2011. Our results are also consistent with several previous surveys finding a 97% consensus amongst climate experts on the human cause of globa...

A survey of 12,000 climate change 'peer reviewed' papers has found 97% of them have come to the conclusion that climate change is man made.

So the idea put out that there is some type of major disagreement and Uncertainty about what the cause is, is infact wrong.

There you have it.

You  forgot, instead of spending money teaching birth control  we are planning on migrating to a planet similar to earth.

If that is out of the question, change the climate of Mars and introduce  bacteria, water, trees and H20.

We are a logical species.

Pretty meaningless, that is just the same as saying that a high percentage of people who like a particulat rock group think agree that that rock group is great.

Logic never was your strong point, was it Poddy?

The "Global Warming" religion is coming apart & not before time in my opinion.

Criminal scare mongers like Gore & Flannery should be shown up for what they are.

Not a word from Labor on climate change, all the shonky green subsidies that have beggared this country are no longer being supported by labor, they are running away from it at speed, it's never mentioned any more, it's like  every other failure of Labor "move along, nothing to see here"

As for all the shonky "science", I think any educated person knows that this scare was faulty from the very beginning. Rudd staked his political life on it & died by Gillards sword. Gillard, the person who had no faith in this flawed religion in the first place.

We can all hope that this madness will, in time, be shown up for what it is & sensible people will prevail & all the rent seekers will be cast out.

 you cant argue with the peer-reviewed facts. you can of course try.. but you just sound like silly creationists .. anti-science philistines.

Global warming or climate change is NOT a political policy that can be implemented or scrapped by any Government. Either it is happening or it isn't and regardless of whether it is man-made or a natural phenomenon, it is an environmental issue which will affect us all -  left or right.

As my no 1 son is

fond of pointing out, it's not the  planet we need to protect - it has survived ice- ages and periods of warming and will ultimately survive whatever we do it - what we need to protect is ourselves, human race, which could be wiped out as easily as the dinosaurs.

Peer review is the evaluation of work by one or more people of similar competence to the producers of the work

That equals Global Warming Nuts reviewing Global Warming Nuts

You would hardly expect them to disagree with each other.
