I said show me a poll and the poll questions. Admit you cannot do it without ruining your own credibility.

The author of the article from Forbes gave you facts. Attacking the author does not prove him wrong. Attack the facts if you can.

I posted two credible sources: the New York Times and Washington Post. Go argue with them.

For the third time, post a poll!

All you are posting is opinion pieces because no poll exists to back up your misinformation. You were duped.

Neither one of those articles were opinion pieces. They were reporting what scientists have found.

What scientists? What kind of scientists?
If you want to prove a consensus you have to prove what all climate scientists think, not a few cherry picked alarmist unqualified scientists. If they are not climate scientists they are not experts, are they?

Show me a poll with the poll questions. If you cannot do that you cannot prove consensus. And make sure they are qualified climate scientists, not scientists who know nothing about climate. But if you want to include scientists that are not climate scientists merely because you think they are really smart then how about the brilliant scientist the late Freeman Dyson?

There's is consensus:

https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

"Our AMA ... supports the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s fourth assessment report and concurs with the scientific consensus that the Earth is undergoing adverse global climate change and that anthropogenic contributions are significant."

"Earth's changing climate is a critical issue and poses the risk of significant environmental, social and economic disruptions around the globe. While natural sources of climate variability are significant, multiple lines of evidence indicate that human influences have had an increasingly dominant effect on global climate warming observed since the mid-twentieth century."

@metal-brain said
So she basically said humanity's existence in peril because 5 years has passed.
Do you agree with her that humanity's existence is now in peril?

Hey halfwit show us your evidence that humanity is not in peril. Humanity is dying all over the globe of extreme weather events, unless you think humanity means that 10 square meters around you.
Man made climate change is killing humans somewhere everyday

Consensus of what?

We all know climate change is real. The ice ages prove that. Climate change has always happened and still is happening. What kind of idiot would deny the ice ages?

They clearly cite "human influences".

@vivify said

Who is they? What human influences? Be specific.
You still have no poll and the sites you posted have no sources listed.
There is a consensus of human influence, but only of a negligible influence that everybody agrees on. There is no consensus of catastrophic climate change. There is no poll that proves that at all.

You were duped by propaganda intended to get you to beg for a carbon tax to save the world. Ask your slave masters if they have a solution that does not involve them expropriating your money from you.

@metal-brain said

NASA lists its sources. You clearly didn't read the link.

Yes and none of them are polls of climate scientists.
Did you even look to find out?

@vivify said
I didn't see your graph in that long link.

Okay. Here:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-climatechange-breakingviews-idINKBN2781W6

The author of your the study in your link is by a debunked climate denier. This study wasn't done by an organization these are claims made by a single individual.

I don't know why I gave you the benefit of the doubt that y ...[text shortened]... ve suspected immediately that you'd quote a hack criticized by the rest of the scientific community.

You see why I'm so good at this. Had to play a little line out to make sure vivify was on the hook. So while vivify thought the link was useful to her she was happy to go along with it, to use the information from the link to call me (and I quote) a liar.

Within hours of being proven wrong she now wishes to disregard the link only moments before she was using to slander me a liar.

And in reply to the hard stats put together by Lomborg she posts an op-ed of some lefty having a rant about Lomborg, not a refutation of the stats, but what can only be called butt hurt whining. The hit pieces from lefties are nothing new for Lomborg, his crime? he was once one of them. The ramble about Lomborg is three years old and manages to slip in something about the virtues of wuflu lock-downs.
