The online Omaha World-Herald reports that Five University of Nebraska-Lincoln climate scientists released a joint statement Friday calling for action on climate change.

But it's not this year's debilitating weather that prompted the statement, the scientists say.

Rather, it's the ongoing public confusion over the degree of scientific certainty surrounding climate change.

These 5 note -- The time for debate is over.

That sounds an awful lot like the King of Climate Change, Al Gore... If you look at the peer reviewed scientific literature, the debate is over

The Cornhusker crew also says -- The scientific community is behind this.

It sounds like it, it's called Climategate.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

The climate scientists said they've been asked frequently if this year's extreme weather is being caused by climate change. Making that tight of a connection isn't possible, they said. “This year does add urgency”.

But, I thought it's not about this year's debilitating weather?
