Consensus as strong as ... this is rare in science...

Quote from the Editor of Science re: global warming:

-----

Science 30 March 2001:
Vol. 291. no. 5513, p. 2515

<snip>

During the past year in these pages, we have published over 30 peer-reviewed
reports and articles documenting findings that relate to global climate
change. Some of these extended the kinds of modeling studies cited in the
IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report. Others documented
the intensification of the El Niño events that has accompanied the warming
we have already experienced. Still others measured the retreat of glaciers,
the thinning of polar ice caps, the extraordinary growth in the heat content
of the world's oceans, and other indicators. All of them, in one way or
another, support the concerns that the president [of the U.S.] now says he
is not prepared to address.

And that's just from one journal. Consensus as strong as the one that has
developed around this topic is rare in science. (Emphasis added.)
