Global warming

The world is full of myths and misconceptions, and we've hardly time to debunk 'em all, so, moving right along....

It is widely reported, especially among conservatives, that there exists a large group of credible scientists who disput the evidnce of global warming, and who believe that it may not exist, or, if it does exist, that it might be natural, not man made.

No such group exists. There is in fact an overwhelming consensus among scientists that global warming is real, and caused by human activity. The agreement is nearly unanimous.

There ARE a few scientists who dispute global warming, but for the most part they are being paid for their skepticism by corporations who want to avoid the expenxe of environmental protection.
