Scientific Consensus?

(Fox News) - A former adviser to President Carter's global environment task force and one of Canada's leading environmentalists is disputing the claim that there is a scientific consensus about the human origins of global warming.

Lawrence Solomon writes in the Financial Post that a majority of astrophysicists and other solar scientists may in fact disagree with the conventional wisdom. He points out that almost 18,000 scientists signed a petition in opposition to the Kyoto Protocol.

And he says a survey of the National Registry of Environmental Professionals found that only 59 percent believed human activities were largely responsible for global warming.
