These "scientist" bastards need to issue a formal apology to ME! I'm not letting them slide. I waste brain CPU cycles examining their mindless trash.
The Case for Business Action on Climate Change
Paul Polman, CEO Unilever
John Bryant, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Kellogg Company
Posted: 09/24/2015
"As members of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and on behalf of the 93 companies included in this letter, we recognize that regardless of faith, we can all appreciate the call to climate action contained in Pope Francis' encyclical, "On Care for Our Common Home." It is a universal message -- one that speaks to the challenges climate change is having on society and the environment and the role of individuals, civil society and institutions to address them.
"For years, the body of science behind climate change has grown clearer and more focused. The planet is warming with severe consequences that threaten business growth and a healthy economy. We believe that we have reached a tipping point on climate change and that there is an unstoppable shift to a global economy that is significantly less harmful to the environment. As the world transitions to this new economy, it will be important to provide economic progress and a higher quality of life for all people in all regions of the world.
"The private sector will play a key role in this transition and can help build prosperity and secure a better world for what will soon be nine billion people. Increasingly, business leaders are working collaboratively with competitors and with nongovernmental organizations to set goals to significantly reduce natural-resource use, invest in clean energy, improve global health and feed more people. A common thread that cuts across all of these efforts is finding new and innovative ways to use technology to achieve these social and environmental commitments.
"No company is perfect. But, all companies are made up of people who want to leave a higher quality of life and a better world for generations to come. As leaders of these companies, we are committed to using our innovation, scale and entrepreneurial spirit to seek ways to address both the environmental and societal challenges created by climate change. Ahead of the Paris climate negotiations this December, we will help do our part to facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

It's curious that the righties here have not called the fallacy "bandwagon argument" on the idea that most scientists accept Man is warming the planet. Instead they have focused on whether it is "most". That implies they'd accept the argument if a majority could be proven.
wrong... it means every part of the argument of the agw argument is not based on facts.
there is no consensus that man made co2 is causing warming
there is no peer reviewed science that shows man made co2 is causing warming
there is no science showing we are warming outside natural variation
we might not even be warming... if we look at the raw data (although this is probably the weakest argument of this group.)
Because we are trying to compare current data to proxy data we don't even know we are warmer than in the past. According to the AGW nutters the proxy data stopped working. (because it shows us to be cooler.)

a smart guy like you could surely produce 10 peer reviewed papers showing man made co2 is causing warming right?
Why won't you produce the links...?
here are 1350 peer reviewed papers questioning agw via man made co2.

Probably the weakest... because the ice is melting?
Is this supposed to surprise any thinking person? The earth has cycled through several climate and other catastrophic changes. All of these preceding modern man. More catastrophic changes will come. We can do nothing to prevent these. We may accelerate one, but the time frame of acceleration is statistically insignificant given the eons of time we're talking about. A hundred, and thousand years, has no value in the overall scheme of things. Survival is unlikely regardless of what we do.
We want clean air and water to improve our current standard of living, but to think we can do something to prevent the next catastrophic change is absurd.

1350+ Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skeptic Arguments Against ACC/AGW Alarmism
Why did they include the word "alarmism"?
Do you think non-manmade atmospheric CO2 absorbs infrared radiation?
