A leading science studies scholar, examines the claim by some comentators that there is little scientific consensus on climate change.
"While discussing a major U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report on the risks of climate change, then-EPA administrator Christine Whitman argued, 'As [the report] went through review, there was less consensus on the science and conclusions on climate change'. Some corporations whose revenues might be adversely affected by controls on carbon dioxide emissions have also alleged major uncertainties in the science. Such statements suggest that there might be substantive disagreement in the scientific community about the reality of anthropogenic climate change. This is not the case."
