The energy and climate debate
#42

As I noted no amount of scientific data will likely sway those who have reached conclusions based on non-scientific information.

You might, however, like to contemplate the following:

Every five or six years, the Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) [comprised of 195 governments, including the US and all major industrialized countries] prepares a comprehensive report that assesses articles that climate scientists publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which is where most of the scientific debate on climate change takes place.

Peer review, while not perfect, ensures that journals only accept articles that meet a high standard of scientific rigor and objectivity. Several surveys of the refereed literature on climate change science have confirmed that virtually all published papers accept the scientific basis of human-induced climate change.

The scientific consensus about human-induced climate change is further attested to by a joint statement signed by 11 of the world’s leading national science academies representing Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCcQFjABahUKEwjkkbmfiKDHAhVDox4KHcQHCVk&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalacademies.org%2Fincludes%2FG8%2B5energy-climate09.pdf&ei=1mjJVeTOC8PGesSPpMgF&usg=AFQjCNFAVLk8VScTo9BxzFW5PoMURRKORQ&bvm=bv.99804247,d.dmo&cad=rja
Many other science bodies have issued similar statements. Link to list of over 200 science bodies that support the human link to climate change: http://opr.ca.gov/s_listoforganizations.php

Not that I expect you'd be interested, but if you would like some research you could start with these:

1552-page 2013 Group 1- IPPC Report: The Physical Science Basis (on the physical science behind the global scientific consensus on climate change) http://www.climatechange2013.org/images/..._FINAL.pdf

[FYI: Over 1000 authors from 63 countries ; 209 Lead Authors and 50 Review Editors from 39 countries ; Over 600 Contributing Authors from 32 countries ; Over 2
million gigabytes of numerical data from climate model simulations; Over 9200 scientific publications cited; Reviews include 54,677 comments;1089 Expert Reviewers from 55 countries; 38 Governments]

688-page 2014 IPPC Group 2 Report (Part B) Impacts, Adaptations, and Vulnerabilties: http://ipcc-wg2.gov/AR5/images/uploads/W..._FINAL.pdf

1132-page 2014 IPPC Group 2 Report (Part A) Impacts, Adaptations, and Vulnerabilities: http://ipcc-wg2.gov/AR5/images/uploads/W..._FINAL.pdf

[ FYI: Containing 1217 authors representing 92 nationalities; 242 lead authors and 66 review editors from 70 countries; 436 contributing authors from 54 countries; over 12,000 scientific references cited; Reviews include :50,492 comments; 1729 expert reviewers from 84 countries]

1454-page 2014 IPPC Group 3 Report: Mitigation of Climate Change http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report...5_full.pdf

[FYI: More than 1400 authors from 85 countries; 235 Coordinating Lead Authors and Lead Authors and 38 Review Editors from 58 countries;176 Contributing Authors from 35 countries; Close to 1200 scenarios of socioeconomic development analyzed; Nearly 10,000 references cited; Reviews included 38,296 comments; 836 Expert Reviewers from 66 countries; 37 Governments]


In total, these 3 reports comprise the efforts of more than 3,600 climate scientists worldwide and are based on over 31,000 peer-reviewed scientific references and incorporate over 143,000 reviewer comments. [Also note that each of the Summary for Policymakers of each of the above reports was approved line-by-line unanimously by all 195 member governments of the International Panel on Climate Change].

THIS is what a scientific consensus looks like.

Enjoy the reading!
