I'll just leave this here.
The AMA has joined other health organisations around the world – including the American Medical Association, the British Medical Association, and Doctors for the Environment Australia – in recognising climate change as a health emergency.
At its August meeting in Canberra, the AMA Federal Council declared that climate change is real and will have the earliest and most severe health consequences on vulnerable populations around the world, including in Australia and the Pacific region.
The Federal Council Motion reads:
The Federal Council recognises climate change as a health emergency, with clear scientific evidence indicating severe impacts for our patients and communities now and into the future. The AMA commits to working with government agencies and other organisations to prioritise actions in line with the AMA’s 2015 Position Statement on Climate Change and Human Health.
AMA President, Dr Tony Bartone, said today that the evidence is in on climate change - and it is irrefutable.
“The AMA accepts the scientific evidence on climate change and its impact on human health and human wellbeing,” Dr Bartone said.
Etc etc. |
Cool, can we have an update on what the CFMEU thinks? |

While you're at it, what do the overhwelming majority of climate scientists say about climate change?

That's not how science works. |

Well, what NASA says about that is as follows:
"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position" (footnotes omitted).

While we're at it then, how does science work?

I didn't think that was in dispute

Maybe it's just me, but there's a massive difference between accepting that human induced increases in greenhouse gasses cause global warming, and accepting that we are in a state of emergency with human induced climate change that will kill millions in the next few decades.

So, you hold that unanimous agreement is required for a theory to be deemed valid, and that what is proven and unproven, confirmed or debunked, is self-evident and irresistible?
Can you unpack this for us?
