Climate Change: The Need for a Human Rights Agenda within a Framework of Shared Human Security

Abstract

Is the danger real? Brown (2012) cites two recent surveys of expert opinion.First: 'a 2009 study--published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States--polled 1,372 climate researchers and resulted in the following two conclusions.(i) 97-98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change) outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.(ii) The relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers.(Anderegg et.al 2010)'.Second, he cites an even larger poll from 2009 which gave very similar results (reported in Doran and Zimmerman 2009).See also 18 statements from national scientific associations, assembled at http://www.ucsusa.org/ssi/climate-change/scientific-consensus-on.html.
