Naomi Oreskes finds that out of 928 articles on climate change, 0 challenge consensus
...A study by Naomi Oreskes, professor of history and science studies at the University of California-San Diego, found 928 peer-reviewed articles on climate change; none opposed the unanimous conclusion that human-released greenhouse gases are affecting our climate.
With data gathered from ice cores, tree rings, and coral, climatologists have been able to accurately reconstruct temperature fluctuations over the past 1,000 years. The data confirms what James Inhofe, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and others ignore: that the hottest years over the past millennium are 2005 and 2009 and that the years 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2006 round out the top six.
The debate today is combative, filled with unreasoned personal attacks and far from the respectful scientific dialogue the issue deserves. If you are in the camp of “a lot of snow = no global warming,” and it gets to 104-degrees this July, will you believe climate change really is happening?...
