US & international politics
Scientific thought about [[anthropogenic global warming]] is evenly divided. There is no consensus.
Scientific thought about [[anthropogenic global warming]] is evenly divided. There is no consensus.
==US Politics==
Registered voters are evenly divided on the issue, with 75% of Democrats believing the science supports AGW theory but only 23% of Republicans believing this.
Since the issue came to the fore in 1989, neither president - [[Clinton]] or [[Bush]] - has sent the global warming treaty to the Senate for ratification. A bipartisan Senate resolution disapproved the notion of joining the treaty 93-0.
==International Politics==
The UN climate panel ([[IPCC]]) has issued a series of reports endorsing the theory of [[anthropogenic global warming]] (AGW). Supporters of this theory call the IPCC assessments authoritative, and use this as the basis to justify ratification of the global warming treaty (see [[Kyoto Protocol]]).
