→Politics of global warming: the UN offers no proof of a scientific consensus on the subject
Assessments of climate science by the United Nations (see [[IPCC]] - ''Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change'')

have claimed that scientists are 90% sure that over 50% of the observed global warming in recent decades is human-caused, and that continued global warming should be expected over at lease the next century. Associated with such warming are changes in land and sea ice, large-scale weather patterns, and rising sea levels over the next century.
have claimed that scientists are 90% sure that over 50% of the observed global warming in recent decades is human-caused, and that continued global warming should be expected over at lease the next century.
However, the UN offers no proof of a scientific consensus on the subject, and all polls of scientists show anywhere from 25% to 75% disagreement with the UN position. Several scientists have complained about their work being misrepresented by the U.N.
One scientist, Michael Mann, was investigated by the U.S. Congress for a [[scientific fraud]] uncovered by two persistent statistics experts (see [[Hockey stick graph]]).
Associated with such warming are changes in land and sea ice, large-scale weather patterns, and rising sea levels over the next century.
Several prominent scientists have pointed out the [[politicized science]] of the UN's assessment methods. The scientific reports are submitted to a panel of representatives appointed by each country in the IPCC.
