  I cite the journal Nature that disagrees with your dishonest claim
that the consensus view is not supportive of global warming.

  Here are some other references...


Climate Observations Substantiate Global Warming Models
-------------------------------------------------------
- Bette Hileman, C&EN Washington - Nov 27, 95

This consensus, and the evidence that supports it, are documented in the
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) latest
report on the science of global warming. The 2,000-plus page report,
written by about 500 scientists and reviewed by about 500 other experts,
will be released next month.


Consensus reached on Climate change causes
------------------------------------------
- R. Monastersky - Science News Vol 146 -

While the politics of global warming inspire division and argument among
nations, the world's scientists have reached a consensus on what causes
climate change. Hundreds of top researchers from more than 80 countries
agreed last week that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas pollutants
represent the most important forces currently altering the climate,
drowning out other effects that can cool the globe.


IPCC SECOND ASSESSMENT SYNTHESIS OF SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL INFORMATION
RELEVANT TO INTERPRETING ARTICLE 2 OF THE UN FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON
CLIMATE CHANGE 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This report assesses a large part of the existing literature on the
socioeconomics of climate change and identifies areas in which a
consensus has emerged on key issues and areas where differences exist.


Climate change: some basics
---------------------------
"There is broad consensus among climatologists that at least some
surface warming will occur, but it is uncertain by how much and how
swiftly earth's surface will warm." - Jan Schloerer



  "But overlying the uncertainty is a broad scientific consensus on the
fundamentals of the warming forecast. Global warming is real, a large
majority of scientists agree." (The Washington Post, 1997.)

  Lindzen, Schnider and other one time skeptics are now on record as
predicting additional CO2 induced warming.

  Singer is an oil industry shill, and Idso appears mentally unstable.

"It is interesting to watch the proponents of of the ozone-CFC theory
squirm when under scientific attack.  They resort to evasion,
double-talk, and often outright prevarication." - Dr S. Fred Singer -
Washington Times, December 28, 1994.

  Shills say the dardest things....
