SEPP News Release: More Than 15,000 Scientists Protest Kyoto Accord; Speak Out Against Global Warming Myth

A link to a 1998 source is not especially helpful or relevent in 2007.

Scientists are not in agreement at the tune of 90% in the assertion that humans are actually in any way responsible for any increase in global temperatures.

Once again, for people who may have missed it - from the original post .....

But for the first time the group asserted with near certainty — more than 90 percent confidence — that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases from human activities were the main drivers of warming since 1950. Is that every scientist in the world? No. It's the collective view of the scientists involved in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the body responsible for this report.

Frankly, I don't understand why people resist so strongly the notion - backed now by even more evidence - that (1) global warming exists, and (2) human activity is responsible for most of it. I don't see what good is derived by saying that scientists, backed by more and more data, are wrong about this.

Will there ever be total agreement within the scientific community about this? No, of course not. But when growing numbers of scientists say the same thing, I'm inclined to believe them.
