Wow, you really are a Republican!!!!
Your proof is very weak. "Consensus" needs to be of qualified people. Fully 90% of the "scientists" who signed a letter that was frequently cited by the Clinton-Gore administration as evidence of scientific consensus on global warming are not qualified to be called experts on the issue. The letter circulated by the environmental group Ozone Action, ofers the names of some 2,600 alleged experts on climate change, only one of whom is, in fact, a climatologist. Among these so called experts on global warming are a plastic surgeon, two landscape architects, one hotel administrator, a gynecologist, seven linguists, and even one person whose academic background is in traditional Chinese medicine. So much for their consensus.
