Agree

The debate is over. We know the science. We see the threat posed by changes in our climate. And we know the time for action is now.

Agree

There are no longer any serious scientists producing peer reviewed scientific journal articles that [deny anthropogenic global warming]. The real scientific debate is over. The people who say global warming isn't real, they must get together on Saturday nights and party with the ones who think the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona.

Mostly Agree

The majority of climate scientists agree that global warming is primarily caused by human activities such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The conclusion that global warming is mainly caused by human activity and will continue if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced has been endorsed by more than 75 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.

Disagree

Journalists in the West, dominated by liberal viewpoints, have painted a misleading picture of the science. They have publicized liberal slanders against scientists who dare to speak up against the fake "consensus" ... Many politicians have bought into the liberal claim of consensus ... In fact, many scientists disagree with the "facts," their certainty, and their interpretation.

Dr. Tom V. Segalstad's claim is very bold. All geologists think the IPCC is wrong? We perhaps also need a question here regarding Tom's theory that the ocean will absorb excess CO2.
