A consensus of scientists is not science. Scientists have been wrong about many theories, and there was a consensus then too. Worse the consensus is not 100%, never has been, and it's declining. The warming crowd has been doing everything they can to explain the "global warming pause".
Even the IPCC said in their last summit that they are 95% confident that HALF of the 0.8C global temperature rise is due to all anthropogenic forces. So now we're down to half of the warming. What else is causing it? They don't know. Hmmmm.
Why 95%? Because at one time that's the highest percentage of pro-warming reports published on the subject versus the naysayers. In other words, that's not scientific either. They're just guessing. "Well if 95% of the published articles say it's warming then 95% of scientist must agree." Failed logic.
And we all know professors and universities will join the cause lockstep so as to keep those federal dollars coming.
I have no doubt that humans cause warming; nearly everything we do generates heat and we exhale CO2. But the earth has been MUCH warmer and MUCH cooler before we showed up. I'm pretty sure we're going to be all right.
