Hold the carbon taxes! A new consensus on man-made global warming
has just hit the fan. Forbes.com
reported the following:
Don’t look
now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming
after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans
are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the
peer-reviewed Organization Studies.
By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is
the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming
will not be a very serious problem.
The survey results
show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar
views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here)
revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims.
I wonder if Al Gore or any of the usual suspects will
quote this peer-reviewed survey with the same enthusiasm as the guy from the
Sierra Club during a congressional hearing.
We shouldn’t hold our breath. We
already know what their argument is going to be: these are geoscientists, not
climatologists.
