4. Discussion
Of note is the large proportion of abstracts that state no position on AGW. This result is expected in consensus situations where scientists '...generally focus their discussions on questions that are still disputed or unanswered rather than on matters about which everyone agrees' (Oreskes 2007, p 72). This explanation is also consistent with a description of consensus as a 'spiral trajectory' in which 'initially intense contestation generates rapid settlement and induces a spiral of new questions' (Shwed and Bearman 2010); the fundamental science of AGW is no longer controversial among the publishing science community and the remaining debate in the field has moved to other topics. This is supported by the fact that more than half of the self-rated endorsement papers did not express a position on AGW in their abstracts.
From that same source, Chief Dumbass.

Fact is chief.....
You are part of 57% of the American population which denies or doesn't doesn't believe in AGW.
That makes YOU part of the majority.
What's sheep-ass smell like anyway?

Does NOT indicate a consensus nor any type of agreement. Unless you and the others wish to think it does. Just another perfect example of complete manipulation of the verbiage to do just as Steve Schneider indicated must be done back in 1989 in order to fool and deceive idiots as yourself (BAGLADY) in believing the manipulated propaganda bullshet and jump onboard the train of AGW socialistic utopian ideology.
To do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This 'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. S. Schneider, Discover, pp. 45–48, Oct. 1989

No shet sherlock deadforbrains.
Where the FK have you been FORT! I acknowledged that last month. Stop smoking your butt and pub hairs and read the fking thread.
The very recent global UN Poll (Completed MAY 2013) states even greater. AGW and or GCC is at the BOTTOM of the heap when it comes to the masses concerns globally.
IN other words FORT, your clan of Utopian Liberal idiots ARE LOSING, globally! The people of the world ARE NOT believing the manipulated and made up bullshet.
Even the very recent actions of EU Gov'ts indicate that.
It is pretty sad when the current Administration has to undermine the Law and the Constitutional Process of this Nation in order to proliferate this globally losing political ideology.

NOT!
We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming.

More than half of the abstracts that we rated as 'No Position' or 'Undecided' were rated 'Endorse AGW' by the paper's authors.

Absolutely NO confusion about this confession from one of your Zealot AGW leaders.
.... our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broadbased support, to capture the public's imagination.

Please post up any CONFIRMED human deaths caused directly by AGW.
Also:
an observation on the debate on consensus... In the years I've been posting here I've never had a scientist object to the posts, or even the trends in the research which largely point to human activity as being a major source of climate change.
The controversies are largely regarding the consequences of those findings, and the issues regarding policy, for which scientists participate in a part of the conversation. It isn't to much of a stretch that someone can understand the scientific conclusion of anthropogenic climate change and have a different idea about what, if anything, should be done about it.
In addition, scientists are not usually given to absolute statements regarding research results, which is a cultural issue having to do with how science is done and communicated among scientists. This often adds confusion among people outside of science, and is certainly exploited by people who are not happy about various scientific conclusions (especially as they influence policy).
Right now the field as a whole is focused on predicting the short term, regional climate, which is a difficult task. In particular, identifying the pieces of the "natural variability" that are predictable includes many effects which are important but are smaller than the anthropogenic contributions. There are some factors of the "natural variability" that are associated with the non-linear response of the system that, while predictable, can never have precisely enough stated initial conditions to result in prediction.
The nuances of this are lost in public debate when the voices get loud and demanding and express a point-of-view which is unaccepting of reasoned argument. This can happen in discussions which require looking at phenomena that occur over time periods long compared to human lifetimes as the scientific conclusions may seem to be at variance with experience (e.g. the grey seal population recovery in the NE coastal fisheries).
The above must of course go along with Steve Schneider 1989 mandate. Right!

Ideological based science and the utopian socialistic political way of life DOES NOT rule the planet nor the people as you wish it would FORT.
Thank god!
EDH:
there is a body of scientific results which are studying those issues, The Chief... it's not as if the climate had a gun and shot someone, and that we could have a trial in a court of law...
Yup.
But there are current issues that are killing TENS of MILLIONS annually that your "science" shuns and prefers to chase after something that it is not certain of the results, say 100 years from now.
Your priorities are obviously skewed. Reason???
Oh the funding/money Research Monster. My bad.
Oh the fallacy and hypocrisy.

This isn't a science problem. It's a policy problem. We don't need genetically engineered food to feed the world's hungry, AI drones to kill sandal-wearing brown people who hate us, or a CAT scanner in every home to keep American healthy.

Damn if it isn't!
It is a product of science you hypocrite.
Cancers directly related to the use of modern day scientifically produced chemical infested Tobacco products and Pesticides.
And where the fk do you expect to house and then feed all the millions of humans you wish to save from the AGW "COULD" happen catastrophe?

And if AGW does exist, it is as well.
So your excuse to not entertain the fight against Cancer, is 100% valid in your agenda.
Perfect example, YOU!

With TENS of MILLIONS dying annually, sure appears to be a losing fight by science.
Yet you say science can mitigate CC.
How the fk are you gonna accomplish that if you can't cease the current REAL #1 killer of our species?
PS: NOT one Human death can be 100% attributed to CC. NOT ONE!

Not one mention as to how science created the cancer stemming from moidern day cigarettes nor the hundreds of pesticides that it chemically designed.
The climate changes which have already happened have an impact on the current issues affecting humans. The "uncertainty" of the future has a quantitative value .
Please identify any where in our species history where we once had any CERTAINTY in regards to our future.
Are you now claiming that science can do that????
Control the certainty of the human species future.
