The Orestes research was from 2004. A lot has happened in the scientific community from that time. I think if a new research were taken about scientific opinion today there might be new conclusions drawn. I distrust the report that PDQ offers as conclusive evidence on the nature of scientific opinion today. I think it's biased. Why? There are too many scientists out there and they are cautious to offer conclusive evidence, because this is the nature of science, to be careful in stating conclusions. There is politics in the scientific community as well. I wouldn't take much stock in the documenting of papers regarding climate change today. There are no conclusive answers but there are certain indicators such as melting ice caps, rising sea tides, an occurrence of violent storms and temp extremes.

The science is there that the heating of the planet is caused by hydrocarbons. How many scientists believe or disbelieve this is debatable in today's environment. There is no reliable science that disputes this fact.
