Mainstream Climate Science discussion

From what worked on another forum and perhaps with new management in place, might be implemented here.

In that forum it is moderated by a working scientist who is familiar with the field. This is his directive I would like to see followed here in this forum which purports to be educational.

Quote:

This thread is for discussing the science of climate change. It has the operating assumptions that climate change is happening, and that it has an anthropogenic origin. From the 2007 IPCC Summary for Policymakers: Quote: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change wrote: Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level... Observational evidence from all continents and most oceans shows that many natural systems are being affected by regional climate changes, particularly temperature increases... Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations... Discussions of the pros and cons of the science go here. Climate change denial does not go here. Members wanting to post general remarks denying climate change or its anthropogenic basis, or off-topic references to what your favourite journalist, politician or 'radio personality' says about it all, should post them in the Climate Science Denial thread. This thread will be strictly moderated. Off-topic, inflammatory, irrational or non-science based posts will be either binned or moved to the Denial thread as appropriate. Continuing to post OT or inflammatory posts will invite moderator attention, guidance, and corrective action as required. Members are invited to contact a forum moderator if they need further clarification, or to use the report system if posts need to be reviewed by staff.

Now do we have a moderator here that is up to the task? Feedback appreciated.
