Here is what the consensus LOOKS like, and it is VERY real:Scientific opinion on climate change - Wikipedia‘Opposing?’ NONE!See also: Global warming controversy § Mainstream scientific position, and challenges to itThis is a list of scientific bodies of national or international standing, that have issued formal statements of opinion, classifies those organizations according to whether they concur with the IPCC view, are non-committal, or dissent from it. The California Governor's Office website lists nearly 200 worldwide scientific organizations hold the position that climate change has been caused by human action.[48]Since 2001, 34 national science academies, three regional academies, and both the international InterAcademy Council and International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences have made formal declarations confirming human induced global warming and urging nations to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The 34 national science academy statements include 33 who have signed joint science academy statements and one individual declaration by the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2007.2001 Following the publication of the IPCC Third Assessment Report, seventeen national science academies issued a joint statement, entitled "The Science of Climate Change", explicitly acknowledging the IPCC position as representing the scientific consensus on climate change science. The statement, printed in an editorial in the journal Science on May 18, 2001,[49] was signed by the science academies of Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.[50]2005 The national science academies of the G8 nations, plus Brazil, China and India, three of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the developing world, signed a statement on the global response to climate change. The statement stresses that the scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action, and explicitly endorsed the IPCC consensus. The eleven signatories were the science academies of Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[51]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." 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.[52]2007 In preparation for the 33rd G8 summit, the Network of African Science Academies submitted a joint "statement on sustainability, energy efficiency, and climate change" :2008 In preparation for the 34th G8 summit, the national science academies of the G8+5 nations issued a declaration reiterating the position of the 2005 joint science academies’ statement, and reaffirming "that climate change is happening and that anthropogenic warming is influencing many physical and biological systems." Among other actions, the declaration urges all nations to "(t)ake appropriate economic and policy measures to accelerate transition to a low carbon society and to encourage and effect changes in individual and national behaviour." The thirteen signatories were the same national science academies that issued the 2007 joint statement.[54]2009 In advance of the UNFCCC negotiations to be held in Copenhagen in December 2009, the national science academies of the G8+5 nations issued a joint statement declaring, "Climate change and sustainable energy supply are crucial challenges for the future of humanity. It is essential that world leaders agree on the emission reductions needed to combat negative consequences of anthropogenic climate change". The statement references the IPCC's Fourth Assessment of 2007, and asserts that "climate change is happening even faster than previously estimated; global CO2 emissions since 2000 have been higher than even the highest predictions, Arctic sea ice has been melting at rates much faster than predicted, and the rise in the sea level has become more rapid." The thirteen signatories were the same national science academies that issued the 2007 and 2008 joint statements.[45]In December 2007, the General Assembly of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Polska Akademia Nauk), which has not been a signatory to joint national science academy statements issued a declaration endorsing the IPCC conclusions, and stating:American Association for the Advancement of Science as the world's largest general scientific society, adopted an official statement on climate change in 2006:Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies in 2008 published FASTS Statement on Climate Change[57] which states:United States National Research Council through its Committee on the Science of Climate Change in 2001, published Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions.[58] This report explicitly endorses the IPCC view of attribution of recent climate change as representing the view of the scientific community:Royal Society of New Zealand having signed onto the first joint science academy statement in 2001, released a separate statement in 2008 in order to clear up "the controversy over climate change and its causes, and possible confusion among the public":The Royal Society of the United Kingdom has not changed its concurring stance reflected in its participation in joint national science academies' statements on anthropogenic global warming. According to the Telegraph, "The most prestigious group of scientists in the country was forced to act after fellows complained that doubts over man made global warming were not being communicated to the public".[60] In May 2010, it announced that it "is presently drafting a new public facing document on climate change, to provide an updated status report on the science in an easily accessible form, also addressing the levels of certainty of key components."[61] The society says that it is three years since the last such document was published and that, after an extensive process of debate and review,[62][63] the new document was printed in September 2010. It summarises the current scientific evidence and highlights the areas where the science is well established, where there is still some debate, and where substantial uncertainties remain. The society has stated that "this is not the same as saying that the climate science itself is in error – no Fellows have expressed such a view to the RS".[61] The introduction includes this statement:African Academy of Sciences in 2007 was a signatory to the "statement on sustainability, energy efficiency, and climate change". This joint statement of African science academies, was organized through the Network of African Science Academies. Its stated goal was "to convey information and spur action on the occasion of the G8 Summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, in June 2007".European Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2007 issued a formal declaration on climate change titled Let's Be Honest:European Science Foundation in a 2007 position paper [66] states:InterAcademy Council As the representative of the world's scientific and engineering academies,[67][68] the InterAcademy Council issued a report in 2007 titled Lighting the Way: Toward a Sustainable Energy Future.International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS) in 2007, issued a Statement on Environment and Sustainable Growth:[71]American Chemical Society[72]American Institute of Physics[73]American Physical Society[74]Australian Institute of Physics[75]European Physical Society[76]The American Geophysical Union (AGU) adopted a statement on Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases in 1998.[77]A new statement, adopted by the society in 2003, revised in 2007,[78]and revised and expanded in 2013,[79]affirms that rising levels of greenhouse gases have caused and will continue to cause the global surface temperature to be warmer:In May, 2011, the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America(SSSA) issued a joint position statement on climate change as it relates to agriculture:In 2008, the European Federation of Geologists[81](EFG) issued the position paper Carbon Capture and geological Storage :In 2005, the Divisions of Atmospheric and Climate Sciences of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) issued a position statement in support of the joint science academies’ statement on global response to climate change. The statement refers to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as "the main representative of the global scientific community", and asserts that the IPCCAdditionally, in 2008, the EGU issued a position statement on ocean acidification which states, "Ocean acidification is already occurring today and will continue to intensify, closely tracking atmospheric CO2increase. Given the potential threat to marine ecosystems and its ensuing impact on human society and economy, especially as it acts in conjunction with anthropogenic global warming, there is an urgent need for immediate action." The statement then advocates for strategies "to limit future release of CO2to the atmosphere and/or enhance removal of excess CO2from the atmosphere."[84]In 2006, the Geological Society of America adopted a position statement on global climate change. It amended this position on April 20, 2010 with more explicit comments on need for CO2reduction.In November 2010, the Geological Society of London issued the position statement Climate change: evidence from the geological record:In July 2007, the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) adopted a resolution titled "The Urgency of Addressing Climate Change". In it, the IUGG concurs with the "comprehensive and widely accepted and endorsed scientific assessments carried out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and regional and national bodies, which have firmly established, on the basis of scientific evidence, that human activities are the primary cause of recent climate change." They state further that the "continuing reliance on combustion of fossil fuels as the world's primary source of energy will lead to much higher atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, which will, in turn, cause significant increases in surface temperature, sea level, ocean acidification, and their related consequences to the environment and society."[87]In July 2009, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers[88](NAGT) adopted a position statement on climate change in which they assert that "Earth's climate is changing [and] "that present warming trends are largely the result of human activities":The American Meteorological Society (AMS) statement adopted by their council in 2012 concluded:The Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society has issued a Statement on Climate Change, wherein they conclude:In November 2005, the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (CFCAS) issued a letter to the Prime Minister of Canadastating thatIn November 2009, a letter to the Canadian Parliament by The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society states:In February 2007, after the release of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, the Royal Meteorological Society issued an endorsement of the report. In addition to referring to the IPCC as "[the] world's best climate scientists", they stated that climate change is happening as "the result of emissions since industrialization and we have already set in motion the next 50 years of global warming – what we do from now on will determine how worse it will get."[94]In its Statement at the Twelfth Session of the Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change presented on November 15, 2006, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirms the need to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system." The WMO concurs that "scientific assessments have increasingly reaffirmed that human activities are indeed changing the composition of the atmosphere, in particular through the burning of fossil fuels for energy production and transportation." The WMO concurs that "the present atmospheric concentration of CO2was never exceeded over the past 420,000 years;" and that the IPCC "assessments provide the most authoritative, up-to-date scientific advice."[95]The American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) has statedThe statement on climate change issued by the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) reiterates the conclusions of the IPCC, and urges all nations to take prompt action in line with the UNFCCC principles.Life science organizations have outlined the dangers climate change pose to wildlife.American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians[98]American Institute of Biological Sciences. In October 2009, the leaders of 18 US scientific societies and organizations sent an open letter to the United States Senate reaffirming the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and is primarily caused by human activities. The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) adopted this letter as their official position statement.[99][100] The letter goes on to warn of predicted impacts on the United States such as sea level rise and increases in extreme weather events, water scarcity, heat waves, wildfires, and the disturbance of biological systems. It then advocates for a dramatic reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases.[101]American Society for Microbiology[102]Australian Coral Reef Society[103]Institute of Biology (UK)[104]Society of American Foresters issued two position statements pertaining to climate change in which they cite the IPCC[105] and the UNFCCC.[106]The Wildlife Society (international)[107]A number of health organizations have warned about the numerous negative health effects of global warmingAmerican Academy of Pediatrics[108]American College of Preventive Medicine[109]American Medical Association[110]American Public Health Association[111]Australian Medical Association in 2004[112] and in 2008[113]World Federation of Public Health Associations[114]World Health Organization[115]A number of other national scientific societies have also endorsed the opinion of the IPCC:American Astronomical Society[116]American Statistical Association[117]Canadian Council of Professional Engineers [118]The Institution of Engineers Australia[119]International Association for Great Lakes Research[120]Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand[121]The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO)As of June 2007, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Position Statement on climate change stated:Prior to the adoption of this statement, the AAPG was the only major scientific organization that rejected the finding of significant human influence on recent climate, according to a statement by the Council of the American Quaternary Association.[23]Explaining the plan for a revision, AAPG president Lee Billingsly wrote in March 2007:AAPG President John Lorenz announced the "sunsetting" of AAPG's Global Climate Change Committee in January 2010. The AAPG Executive Committee determined:The official position statement from AIPG on the Environment states that "combustion of fossil fuel include and the generation of GHGs [greenhouse gases] including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Emissions of GHGs are perceived by some to be one of the largest, global environmental concerns related to energy production due to potential effects on the global energy system and possibly global climate. Fossil fuel use is the primary source of the increased atmospheric concentration of GHGs since industrialization".[125]In March 2010, AIPG's Executive Director issued a statement regarding polarization of opinions on climate change within the membership and announced that the AIPG Executive had made a decision to cease publication of articles and opinion pieces concerning climate change in AIPG's news journal, The Professional Geologist.[126]See also: List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warmingSince 2007, when the American Association of Petroleum Geologists released a revised statement,[24]no national or international scientific body rejects the findings of human-induced effects on climate change.[23][25]

As far as I know, there are NO actual scientists that believe global warming is a ‘hoax.’ HOW do I know?

In addition to referring to the IPCC as "[the] world's best climate scientists", they stated that climate change is happening as "the result of emissions since industrialization and we have already set in motion the next 50 years of global warming – what we do from now on will determine how worse it will get."[95]In its Statement at the Twelfth Session of the Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change presented on November 15, 2006, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirms the need to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system". The WMO concurs that "scientific assessments have increasingly reaffirmed that human activities are indeed changing the composition of the atmosphere, in particular through the burning of fossil fuels for energy production and transportation". The WMO concurs that "the present atmospheric concentration of CO2 was never exceeded over the past 420,000 years"; and that the IPCC "assessments provide the most authoritative, up-to-date scientific advice".[96]The American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) has statedThe statement on climate change issued by the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) reiterates the conclusions of the IPCC, and urges all nations to take prompt action in line with the UNFCCC principles.Life science organizations have outlined the dangers climate change pose to wildlife.American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians[99]American Institute of Biological Sciences. In October 2009, the leaders of 18 US scientific societies and organizations sent an open letter to the United States Senatereaffirming the scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and is primarily caused by human activities. The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) adopted this letter as their official position statement.[100][101] The letter goes on to warn of predicted impacts on the United States such as sea level rise and increases in extreme weather events, water scarcity, heat waves, wildfires, and the disturbance of biological systems. It then advocates for a dramatic reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases.[102]American Society for Microbiology[103]Australian Coral Reef Society[104]Institute of Biology (UK)[105]Society of American Foresters issued two position statements pertaining to climate change in which they cite the IPCC[106] and the UNFCCC.[107]The Wildlife Society (international)[108]A number of health organizations have warned about the numerous negative health effects of global warmingAmerican Academy of Pediatrics[109]American College of Preventive Medicine[110]American Medical Association[111]American Public Health Association[112]Australian Medical Association in 2004[113] and in 2008[114]World Federation of Public Health Associations[115]World Health Organization[116]A number of other national scientific societies have also endorsed the opinion of the IPCC:American Astronomical Society[117]American Statistical Association[118]Canadian Council of Professional Engineers [119]The Institution of Engineers Australia[120]International Association for Great Lakes Research[121]Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand[122]The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO)As of June 2007, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Position Statement on climate change stated:Prior to the adoption of this statement, the AAPG was the only major scientific organization that rejected the finding of significant human influence on recent climate, according to a statement by the Council of the American Quaternary Association.[23]Explaining the plan for a revision, AAPG president Lee Billingsly wrote in March 2007:AAPG President John Lorenz announced the "sunsetting" of AAPG's Global Climate Change Committee in January 2010. The AAPG Executive Committee determined:The official position statement from AIPG on the Environment states that "combustion of fossil fuel include and the generation of GHGs [greenhouse gases] including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Emissions of GHGs are perceived by some to be one of the largest, global environmental concerns related to energy production due to potential effects on the global energy system and possibly global climate. Fossil fuel use is the primary source of the increased atmospheric concentration of GHGs since industrialization".[126]In March 2010, AIPG's Executive Director issued a statement regarding polarization of opinions on climate change within the membership and announced that the AIPG Executive had made a decision to cease publication of articles and opinion pieces concerning climate change in AIPG's news journal, The Professional Geologist.[127]See also: List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warmingSince 2007, when the American Association of Petroleum Geologists released a revised statement,[24]no national or international scientific body rejects the findings of human-induced effects on climate change.[23][25]
