If you look at the size of the consensus which supports the idea that CO2 is, or is highly likely to be the cause of the current warming.

This consensus is supported by every single National science academy, every one of 660 scientific institutions and every government that attended Cancun, Doha and Rio.

Compelling evidence indeed.

However, and I'm not looking for a fight here, but..................

Research papers are written by scientists/academics in receipt of
funding from various awarding bodies around the world, who do seem to
favour research into the causes and negative impacts of climate
change, whilst those who might wish to research positive influences,
or be pasrt of the AGW deniers alliance are refused funding. There are
even anecdotal stoties of academics losing their jobs in universitie
for not toeing the AGW line, and even TV presenters, like David
Ballamy, beng cold shouldered for downplaying the anthropogenic
influence on climate change.

Just a thought, no personal axe to grind:-)
