Statement from the UK science community on global warming

On the Met Office website is a statement, I presume in response to the emails leaked from UEA, that reads

We, members of the UK science community, have the utmost confidence in the observational evidence for global warming and the scientific basis for concluding that it is due primarily to human activities. The evidence and the science are deep and extensive. They come from decades of painstaking and meticulous research, by many thousands of scientists across the world who adhere to the highest levels of professional integrity. That research has been subject to peer review and publication, providing traceability of the evidence and support for the scientific method.

The science of climate change draws on fundamental research from an increasing number of disciplines, many of which are represented here. As professional scientists, from students to senior professors, we uphold the findings of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, which concludes that ‘Warming of the climate system is unequivocal’ and that ‘Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations’.

It is signed, in a personal capacity, by over 1700 people representing 120 UK academic institutions.

You can read the full list of signatories here. I’d post it here but at one name per line it goes on for forty pages.

Next time someone says that the UEA emails damage the evidence for climate change, you can ask them if the vast left-wing conspiracy includes all of the people who signed the statement and all the institutions listed below the fold.

xD.
