I assume you saw the list of Nobel Laureates -- a majority of Nobel Laureates in Science supported the Kyoto treaty. None of those had just a Bachelor's of Science degree, I assume. In October of 1997, more than 1,600 of the world's most distinguished senior scientists, including the majority of Nobel laureates in science, signed a landmark consensus declaration sponsored by UCS urging immediate action to prevent the serious consequences of human-induced global warming. In fact, there is a strong consensus in the world's scientific community that the threat of global warming is very real and action is needed immediately. and The current state of understanding of climate science is best represented by the 1995 Second Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The IPCC drew on the work of more than 2,000 of the world's top climate scientists and over 20,000 articles from the relevant literature. ucsusa.org For additional information: queens.edu
