ThinkProgress: On Wednesday night, Minnesota State Representative Glenn Gruenhagen (R-Glencoe) took to the House floor to talk about climate change and renewable energy. Using sources such as the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Gruenhagen told his colleagues that climate change is a complete United Nations fraud and lie. The latest facts from CPAC show that in the last sixteen years theres been no global warming. While it is common practice among climate skeptics to claim that the Earth...

Little research rejects human-driven climate change theory

Mail and Guardian: "Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the science literature" was published in the Environmental Research Letters journal on Thursday. It looked at 12 000 academic papers that talked about climate change and were published between 1991 and 2011. The majority did not take a stance on what was driving climate change, but 4 000 did. Of these, 97.1% said that humans, through their activity, were driving up temperatures and accelerating climate change. Only 83 took the opposing...

Two climate change numbers we ignore at our own peril

Daily Camera: In the rarefied air of Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, which sits 11,141 feet above sea level, scientists have charted the passing of a milestone that, if ignored, heralds a future for civilization both tragic and chaotic. I'm referring to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which Charles David Keeling began monitoring in 1958. At that time, CO2 concentration was 313 parts per million (ppm). We are now at 400 ppm, and that is not good news. Why is this number so important?...

Washington Post: Here`s a finding that shouldn`t be all that surprising: Since 1991, roughly 97 percent of all published scientific papers that take a position on the question agree that humans are warming the planet. That stat comes from this extensive new survey led by John Cook and Dana Nuccitelli, who run the Skeptical Science website. And it builds on earlier studies finding the exact same thing. The authors sifted through 11,944 climate-related abstracts over the past two decades and found that 66.4 percent...
Scientists Agree On Climate Change, Why Doesn't The Public?

National Public Radio: A new study confirms that the vast majority of scientists who research the climate accept that the planet is warming and human beings are largely responsible. Yet a large slice of the American public believes that scientists are deeply split about global warming.
