I love how these things always refer to 'scientists'. What kind of scientists? Meteorologists? Climatologists? Arctic ecologists? Pharmacists? Nuclear physicists?

We are never provided with the pertinent information. I'm also getting sick of articles that say scientists 'have proven' something. Science has never proven anything.

Not saying the report isn't valid, but we need a whole hell of a lot more information than is provided at the link before we can start to differentiate this from anything else that's out there.
Science has never proven anything is a philosophical position that is dangerous for you side. If I can lay you on the other side. That means that by proxy those that refute climate change have also never proven that it isn't occurring and by that I mean being contributed to by man by things such as carbon emissions etc.
Also I'm just as sick as you are, that at every report, article, paper, statement whatever, that comes out being belittled because every scientist isn't on board. What other section of society requires 100% buy in before action? Wars are started with much less approval, public policy, parenting styles, marriage rights. Every issue on earth has detractors but still laws and actions are put into place to move on them with out the approval of all.
