Is there a scientific consensus on global warming? You bet!

The number of scientists who disagree is “vanishingly small”

The biggest lie spread by the fossil fuel lobby and its media enablers is that there is a “controversy” among scientists about global warming.

T’aint so.

A new study, published this week in Environmental Research Letters, examined nearly 12,000 peer-reviewed science papers that deal with global warming, published between 1991 and 2011.

The researchers found that “the number of papers rejecting the consensus on AGW is a vanishingly small proportion of the published research.”

Or, to put it in graphic terms:
