Back in May of 2013, we shared with you the results of a study investigating the scientific consensus relating to anthropogenic climate change (http://on.fb.me/KPSJ31). Unsurprisingly, it was discovered that out of 13,950 peer reviewed articles published between 1 January 1991 and 12 November 2012, only 24 rejected the notion that the climate was changing and that humans were the main driver. Has this trend continued? Of course. A follow on study has applied the same methodology this time focusing on peer reviewed articles published between November 12th, 2012 and December 31st, 2013. The researchers found 2,258 articles, written by a total of 9,136 authors- Of all the articles, only one solitary article, written by a single author, rejected anthropogenic climate change. If 9,136 oncologists told you that you had cancer and one oncologist said you did not, ask yourself: would you take a chance on that one Doctor and refuse treatment? We have had a diagnosis for the state of our environment for many years, it’s time to treat it. -Jean Source: http://www.jamespowell.org/ -- source link
