Indeed, as the evidence requiring TFPer with an ecology degree, what is your response to the

[Joint science academies’ statement: Global response to climate change]
http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/displaypagedoc.asp?id=20742

and the [AAAS Board Statement on Climate Change]?
http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/..._statement.pdf

Both are presented (in the videos) as evidence as a near consensus of the scientific community on global warming. Both are short and presented in a 'for public consumption' manner, but they do seem to say with authority that GCC is real and human activity is contributing.

The debate has been developing for a long time, but I think that is is starting to come to a head. I'm not suggesting that you run around like chicken little, I'm looking for input from the TFP.

A friend of mine, a 'climatologist' [post-doctorate earth and atmospheric science researcher] is the person who initially sent my a link to the video. He seems credible in the field. He agrees that past climate models were not accurate, but also notes the Scientific Process never starts out 100% right. I don't know if "ALL wrong" is fully applicable.

I also don't want to debate select points; I want to discuss the merits and dangers of taking action or not and what that action could be.
