What do you think of the "consensus" after reading this?

There is no and never has been consensus on AGW.

You are right, I started out interested, but I got bored fast.

Sooo, there seems to be a lot of argument on if Global Warming is man made or not. THUS, they are mostly agreeing that it is happening. The only difference is some think we might be able to do something about it (if it is man made, then maybe man can unmake it) and some think we are doomed (if it is not man made and is happening)

I stopped reading when they said that Alberta Engineers disagree. Obviously the disagree, the Alberta Economy is booming because they are Oil rich. ALL these people work for OIL companies. How many of them think twice on the future of their job when they responded? When the tobacco companies scientists stand up and say there is no proof, or smoking is good for you, is it the first source you run to for the facts? Not me. So, that's when I stopped reading.

Where did you hear "all scientists agree" - except in this article that's nothing more than a rant against man caused G/W. I'm sure most people know there is disagreement over whether G/W is man made or a natural cycle. I would like to know which "scientists" were surveyed to get only 26% believe g/w is man made.

It's a basic scientific fact that more CO2 causes more warming and fossil fuels are increasing CO2 from a historic max of 300 ppm to over 500 ppm now. Including data from antarctic ice core samples going back 600,000 years.

I wouldn't doubt if what most scientists said was taken out of context for this article. Most scientists do agree finally that global warming is a fact - some are still in denial as to the evidence for it being caused by fossil fuels.

All real scientists are confident in e=mc2.

That article is NOT about the science of GW, it's about the politics of it. If you want an answer, read the work of real climate physicists, not just any 'ol scientist. For example, some dissenting scientists are cell biologists... what do they know about the climate?

A big reason that some scientists are ignored is that they are in the pocket of the petroleum industry, or other industries that might be harmed by anti-GW tactics (such as moving to sustainable technology).

Edit: I stand by my claim that. Provide the name of a respected scientists who refutes e=mc2. It's been confirmed by multiple experiments over and over. It's rock solid.

Marc Morano is the same guy that posted the list of 400 "prominent scientists" who deny global warming back in December (right before Christmas, in fact). After people got back from holidays, the actual identity of these "prominent scientists" were analyzed and it was clear Morano is nothing more than a deceptive PR man working for OK Senator Inhofe (lovingly referred to as the most scientifically ignorant member of Congress).

This cartoon sums up the "credibility" of anything coming from Morano:

This guy's blog has been posted here about a million times. He's an Oil Company paid lobbyist. He says "Global Warming, BAD! Me GOOD!" What did you expect?

I think it's a bunch of bologna

You're taking Senator "petroleum" Inhofe's word over mainstream science?
