Can we please direct our attentions to people who know what they are talking about, please?<br /><br />As for the "consensus", it's described in a perfect straw man way. The scientific consensus is that human activity is sufficiently altering the radiative properties of the atmosphere as to cause unusually rapid climate change, sufficient to be disruptive to social and ecological processes. <br /><br />That "immediate and drastic action is needed to avert a climatic catastrophe" is merely sufficiently plausible as to arguably carry some weight in the discussion. Nobody claims that is consensus except people who want to disrupt the conversation.Michael Tobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229460438349093944noreply@blogger.com
