Grist: The Earth revolves around the sun. Also, it`s overheating because we`re burning fossil fuels. Can you guess which of those two long-established facts just received an additional jolt of publicized near unanimity among scientists? It was, of course, the latter. (The oil industry has no economic interest in attempting to debunk the former, and you can no longer be persecuted for claiming it.) An international team of scientists analyzed the abstracts of 11,944 peer-reviewed papers published...

97% of Climate Scientists Cant Be Wrong

Climate Desk: The biggest survey of climate research to date finds that scientists are more united than ever. Telling Americans that scientists don`t agree is the classic climate denial strategy. It`s been over a decade since consultant Frank Luntz famously furnished the GOP with strategies to kill climate action during the Bush years, recommending in a leaked memo [PDF]: "you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue." Oh yeah, and avoid truth: "A compelling story, even if factually...

Scientists say united on global warming, at odds with public view
2013-05-16 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Ninety-seven percent of scientists say global warming is mainly man-made but a wide public belief that experts are divided is making it harder to gain support for policies to curb climate change, an international study showed on Thursday. The report found an overwhelming view among scientists that human activity, led by the use of fossil fuels, was the main cause of rising temperatures in recent decades. "There is a strong scientific agreement about the cause of climate change, despite public perceptions...

One-third of animal species will be hit by climate change, scientists warn

Guardian: One-third of common land animals could see dramatic losses this century because of climate change, scientists predict. More than half of plants could be hit the same way as habitats become unsuitable for numerous species. The collapse of ecosystems would have major economic impacts on agriculture, air quality, clean water access, and tourism. Global temperatures are set to rise 4C above preindustrial levels by 2100 if nothing is done to stem greenhouse gas emissions. This could have a...
