Hmmm...here are just a few of the scientific bodies of national or international standing that have offered joint opinions that support the position of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) that: "An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system... There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities." (February, 2007)
Here we go: - The G8+5 Joint science academies, in statements from 2001 to their most recent in 2007. - US National Research Council. - American Meteorological Society. - American Institute of Physics. - Federal Climate Change Science Program (my favorite because it was commissioned by the Bush administration and stated in it's assessment that: "the observed patterns of change over the past 50 years cannot be explained by natural processes alone") - American Ass. For the Advancement of Science. I don't have the exact figures for the number of scientists who actually belong to the groups listed above. In all, i've seen about 30 recognized scientific groups, nationally and across the world, who have issued statements that agree with the IPCC assessment of human contributions to global warming.
