Scientific Consensus About Global Warming Takes Another Big Hit
Change of Heart
(Fox News) - An organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists has reversed its stance on climate change. The American Physical Society now says that many of its members no longer believe global warming is caused by humans.
The Society previously declared: "The evidence is incontrovertible. Global warming is occurring." But the Society now says there is no scientific consensus to support that statement: "There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the intergovernmental panel on climate change conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are likely to be primarily responsible for global warming."

I would be interested to see the original from the AP, the title is what is striking, and the blurb itself is poorly written, implying that global warming isn't happening at all -- but the statement "global warming is occuring" is not undermined at all, just whether humans are causing it.
