UCS Factcheck:
The overwhelming consensus of more than 1,250 authors and 2,000 scientific expert reviewers from the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as well as 18 American scientific associations, is that global warming is observably happening and a growing threat to our world.
 

Corporations, front groups, and climate deniers who oppose critical efforts to curb global warming are misleading the public and attacking climate science.
 

This all-out war on science is being waged by the oil and coal industry, vocal media pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, and the media outlets who allow their fraudulent claims to go unchecked.

But we have two things our opponents don't—scientific facts ...

Unchecked climate change could saddle taxpayers with hundreds of billions of dollars in damages—from flooding and storm damage to health care costs and agricultural losses.

We must act now to stand up to vocal global warming deniers and advance science-based solutions that can rein in global warming pollution.
