There is a new statement from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, also known as the AAAS, on what we know about climate change.
The AAAS is the leading scientific body in the United States, represents the best of our scientific community, and is the largest scientific community in the world.
For one thing, multiple lines of evidence support the statement that 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are affecting the climate...I encourage you to take time to read the entire statement by clicking the link below.

The link below is a 5 minute video in which the question of scientific consensus among other topics are touched upon. It is also from the AAAS.

This statement and video do not represent the wild-eyed ramblings of some fringe scientific element, it reflects the mainstream scientific conclusions of the world's leading body of scientists on the topic of climate change, as well as an effort to disseminate information about what we know about it.
The AAAS is working deliberately to help people understand what we know, and calls upon governments to end the debate on a topic for which the science is settled, and move on to identifying best approaches for dealing with the problem of climate change.
The debate is over...it's time to act. What will you do?
