en.wikipedia.org 2007 In preparation for the 33rd G8 summit, the national science academies of the G8+5 nations issued a declaration referencing the position of the 2005 joint science academies' statement, and acknowledging the confirmation of their previous conclusion by recent research. Following the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, the declaration states, "It is unequivocal that the climate is changing, and it is very likely that this is predominantly caused by the increasing human interference with the atmosphere. These changes will transform the environmental conditions on Earth unless counter-measures are taken." [19] The thirteen signatories were the national science academies of Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In short, every major scientific national academy signed on. That easily covers 98%+. Can you name a single scientific national academy that took the contrary "scientific" view of Exxon and Fox News? Go ahead, please list them for us. You can't. And why not? Because the simple fact is that the scientific community accepts climate change. And that the deniers are driven by money and ideology.
