Why Do Cons Choose To Ignore The Scientific Consensus On Global Warming?


I’ve noticed cons like to get their science from political websites.
A political organization, an amateur website, a blog, one person. These are not SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS.
=================
All well established SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS engaged in climate research support man made global warming.
1. AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY, FOUNDED IN 1919, OVER 14,000 MEMBERS
“There is unequivocal evidence that Earth’s lower atmosphere, ocean, and land surface are warming; sea level is rising; and snow cover, mountain glaciers, and Arctic sea ice are shrinking. The dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities. This scientific finding is based on a large and persuasive body of research.”http://www.ametsoc.org/POLICY/2012climat…
2. THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, FOUNDED IN 1876, OVER 164,000 MEMBERS
“However, comprehensive scientific assessments of our current and potential future climates clearly indicate that climate change is real, largely attributable to emissions from human activities, and potentially a very serious problem.”http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/corg/co…
3. GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, FOUNDED IN 1888, OVER 24,0000 MEMBERS
“The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2006), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouse‐gas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s.”http://www.geosociety.org/positions/posi…
4. AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION, FOUNDED IN 1919, OVER 45,000 MEMBERS
“The scientific evidence for human activity impacting climate is strong and widely accepted within the
scientific community. Given the significant current and potential impacts of climate change,
scientists have a unique responsibility to educate the public and public policy makers on this topic.”http://www.agu.org/sci_pol/pdf/position_…
5. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, FOUNDED IN 1848, SERVES 262 AFFILIATED SOCIETIES AND ACADEMIES OF SCIENCE FOR A TOTAL OF 10 MILLION INDIVIDUALS
“The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society. Accumulating data from across the globe reveal a wide array of effects: rapidly melting glaciers, destabilization of major ice sheets, increases in extreme weather, rising sea level, shifts in species ranges, and more. The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now.”http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/clim…
