A new Rasmussen poll confirms that there is indeed a consensus on the science of global warming. But it is not a consensus that the global cooling deniers will rush to embrace, i.e. the consensus of mostly government officials and non climate scientists represented by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The poll finds that 49 percent of Americans believe that the UN is not a reliable source of information on global warming while only 22 percent think it is. The poll also finds that 59 percent believe that it is somewhat or very likely that some climate scientists have falsified their research on global warming.
