Re: Climate change is here and action needed now, new White House report says
Scientific opinion on climate change - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pretty much all the scientists and institutions that are credible do. So once again your only position can be that they are "virtually all are corrupt around the world"... fat chance.
Only if you ignore the experts, the evidence, and the science.
For a theory or supposed evidence of a theory to be valid, it has to stand up to attempts to falisify it. That is science - science is supposed to be an open, honest, "let the chips fall where they may", pursuit of the truth.
It is only "skeptical scientists" that are actually practicing science, b/c science is about skepticism - if all efforts to falsify something prove that the theory is correct, then it is accurate to say the theory is scientifically valid - it is true. Skeptics don't have a problem with something that proves to be valid - skeptics have a problem with those things that are discredited or disproven, but are still held up to the public and lay people as being true.
Al Gore made millions on "An Incovenient Truth", and running around the globe ginning up the faithful using Michael Mann's Hockey Stick. Well, since Mann's Hockey Stick was contrary to everything known about the earth's temperature record, it stands to reason that it needed to be examined with attempts to falsify it. Did Mann offer up his data and methodology for examination and testing?? No, of course not...
As the ClimateGate emails showed, he even went so far as to say in reference to Ross Mckitrick, when Mckitirick was asking for his data, "... why should I give it to him, he just wants to disprove it"!!! They ignored FOIA requests, deleted emails and data, destroyed evidence, and conspired to confuse, frustrate, and derail the scientific process.
When Mckitrick and others finally got hold of the data - it was shown to be completely tricked up, and completely useless as science; but that information never made it to the general public. Instead, Mann, Jones, et al, got their buddies to rubber stamp it as valid - and that is what was widely trumpeted as the truth.
The problem you have there is - it was falsified. End of story, end of validity, end of it being able to be called valid science. 1 million scientists can come along and say "it's all good"; but all that need happen for it to be thrown out is for 1 scientist to prove it false.
And so it goes with all this nonsense. AGW/CC is extremely dogmatic with a harshly enforced orthodoxy. Step outside that orthodoxy, and you will be labeled a heretic, cut off from funding, prevented from publishing, denied advancement, etc. That is not science - that is corruption; and that is what the so-called scientists who are pushing this abomination are engaged in.
As has been demonstrated, 114 of 117 climate models are now out of confidence level ranges; we haven't had any warming in 17 years; there is nothing unusual about the earths weather patterns; on and on... "climate happens". Always has, always will.
The bottom line is, any true scientist is a skeptic - b/c that is the nature of science. If something survives attempts to falsify it, it should be accepted; but if something fails falsification attempts - it has to be thrown out, and it is then incumbant upon the scientist that offered up the study or theory to find another way.
