My critics in San Francisco are pathetic cowards. Deleted entry #8.

The Global Warming deniers were really intimidated by this one. 97%. (Nationwide.) Gee what a shock. My pathetic coward critics, as usual, threw a fit over yet another compelling entry.

Without further adieu,

No Global Warming denier. The scientific consensus on Anthropogenic Global Warming is real. You're just too much of a partisan coward to acknowledge it.

For example: (Read the last line carefully.)

Consensus: 97% of climate scientists agree. Global Warming is real and caused primarily by man.

Temperature data taken from four international science institutions all show rapid warming over the past few decades. The last decade has been the warmest on record.

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that Global Warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities. Most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations.

AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES

"Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver."

American Association for the Advancement of Science

"The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society."

American Chemical Society

"Comprehensive scientific assessments of our current and potential future climates clearly indicate that climate change is real, largely attributable to emissions from human activities, and potentially a very serious problem."

American Geophysical Union

"Human induced climate change requires urgent action. Humanity is the major influence on the global climate change observed over the past 50 years. Rapid societal responses can significantly lessen negative outcomes."

American Meteorological Society

"It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the past half century is human-induced increases in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrous oxide."

American Physical Society

"The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."

The Geological Society of America

"The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science, the National Research Council, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouse gas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s."

INTERGOVERNMENTAL BODIES

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (This is the big one. It's international and non-partisan.)

"Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level."

"Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely* due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations."

*IPCC defines 'very likely' as greater than 90 percent probability of occurrence.
