at least a few times a year:

"A survey of all peer-reviewed abstracts on the subject 'global climate change' published between 1993 and 2003 shows that not a single paper rejected the consensus position that global warming is man caused. 75% of the papers agreed with the consensus position while 25% made no comment either way, focusing on methods or paleoclimate analysis (Oreskes 2004).

Several subsequent studies confirm that “...the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific basis of long-term climate processes”. (Doran 2009). In other words, more than 95% of scientists working in the disciplines contributing to studies of our climate, accept that climate change is almost certainly being caused by human activities.

We should also consider official scientific bodies and what they think about climate change. There are no national or major scientific institutions anywhere in the world that dispute the theory of anthropogenic climate change. Not one.

In the field of climate science, the consensus is unequivocal: human activities are causing climate change."

It seems to be industry that's leading the opposition to the human-induced-climate-change model.  Followed up by politicians who rely on the industry groups for campaign contributions or, to a lesser degree, votes (politicians representing a region heavily reliant on industry for its economic stability, for example.)

I really don't see the impasse being solved any time soon.  The people who accept the science don't have the right personality types to succeed in politics these days.

Your source didn't work for me.

And on the horizon... Its captain obvious!

But seriously, at least we acknowledge our part, and have drastically cut emissions in the last 100 years or so.

Blue, I love you so much, but I disagree with you about everything.   It's okay.  We can be the odd couple.

I fall and I leap and
I'm freaking out
Nowhere near my place and I
Know that they've seen me now

Let me get back to you on this one.

Maybe this will work better:

Possibly a better linky...
