A 2006 ] by ] in '']'' challenged the claim that scientific consensus had been reached, and listed the Science journal study as well as other sources, including the IPCC and NAS reports, as part of "an intense effort to suggest that the theoretically expected contribution from additional carbon dioxide has actually been detected."<ref>{{cite web|title=Don't Believe the Hype|url=http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008597|last=Lindzen|first=Richard S.|authorlink=Richard Lindzen|date=|publisher=]|accessdate=2007-04-12|quote="Although no cause for alarm rests on this issue, there has been an intense effort to claim that the theoretically expected contribution from additional carbon dioxide has actually been detected.

===Position statements=== |
|
|
Several scientific organizations have issued position statements in which they explicitly used the term "consensus": |
|
|
*], 2006: "The conclusions in this statement reflect the scientific consensus represented by, for example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the Joint National Academies' statement."<ref name="aaas board"> ''www.aaas.org'' December 2006</ref> |
|
|
*]: "In the judgment of most climate scientists, Earth’s warming in recent decades has been caused primarily by human activities that have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. ... On climate change, have assessed consensus findings on the science..."<ref></ref> |
|
|
*]: "We recognise the international scientific consensus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)."<ref></ref> |
|
|
*]: "The work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) represents the consensus of the international scientific community on climate change science. We recognise IPCC as the world’s most reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this consensus."<ref></ref> |
|
|
*], 2003: "The nature of science is such that there is rarely total agreement among scientists. Individual scientific statements and papers—the validity of some of which has yet to be assessed adequately—can be exploited in the policy debate and can leave the impression that the scientific community is sharply divided on issues where there is, in reality, a strong scientific consensus.... IPCC assessment reports are prepared at approximately five-year intervals by a large international group of experts who represent the broad range of expertise and perspectives relevant to the issues. The reports strive to reflect a consensus evaluation of the results of the full body of peer-reviewed research.... They provide an analysis of what is known and not known, the degree of consensus, and some indication of the degree of confidence that can be placed on the various statements and conclusions."<ref> February 2003</ref> |
|
|
*]: “A consensus, based on current evidence, now exists within the global scientific community that human activities are the main source of climate change and that the burning of fossil fuels is largely responsible for driving this change.”<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web | url=http://www.interacademies.net/Object.File/Master/4/825/NASAC%20G8%20statement%2007%20-%20low%20res.pdf | title=Joint statement by the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) to the G8 on sustainability, energy efficiency and climate change | year=2007 | accessdate=2008-03-29 | publisher=Network of African Science Academies |format=PDF}}</ref> |

===Heartland Institute's list=== |
|
|
|
|
|
On April 29, 2008, environmental journalist Richard Littlemore revealed that a list of "500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares"<ref></ref> propagated by the ] included at least 45 scientists who neither knew of their inclusion as "coauthors" of the article, nor agreed with its contents.<ref></ref> Many of the scientists asked the Heartland Institute to remove their names from the list; for instance, Gregory Cutter from the ] was reported by Littlemore as saying, |
|
|
|
|
|
{{Cquote|I have ''no'' doubts ..the recent changes in global climate ''are'' man-induced. I insist that you immediately remove my name from this list since I did not give you permission to put it there.}} |
|
|
|
|
|
However, the Heartland Institute refused to remove any names from the list. In a statement on May 5, 2008, Institute CEO Joseph Bast said that the title of the September 14, 2007 news release announcing the list had been changed to "500 Scientists Whose Research Contradicts Man-Made Global Warming Scares."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.webcitation.org/5XasltdIG|title=Controversy Arises Over Lists of Scientists Whose Research Contradicts Man-Made Global Warming Scares|accessdate=2008-05-06|last=|first=|coauthors=|date=|work=|publisher=}}</ref> In the same statement, Bast also charged that the outraged scientists: |
|
|
{{Cquote|...have crossed the line between scientific research and policy advocacy. They lend their credibility to politicians and advocacy groups who call for higher taxes and more government regulations to “save the world” from catastrophic warming ... and not coincidentally, to fund more climate research. They are embarrassed—as they should be—to see their names in a list of scientists whose peer-reviewed published work suggests the modern warming might be due to a natural 1,500-year climate cycle.}} |
|
|
Bast also stated that: |
|
|
{{Cquote|The point should be obvious: There is no scientific consensus that global warming is a crisis.}} |
|

===Petitions=== |

|
|
|
|
In 1997, the “World Scientists Call For Action” petition was presented to world leaders meeting to negotiate the ]. The declaration asserted, “A broad consensus among the world's climatologists is that there is now ‘a discernible human influence on global climate.’" It urged governments to make “legally binding commitments to reduce industrial nations' emissions of heat-trapping gases”, and called global warming “one of the most serious threats to the planet and to future generations.”<ref name=1997_Call_for_Action> |
