Earth warming
Is there anyone who does not believe that the earth has warmed and cooled over the eons of time and humans had nothing to do with that phenomena? In other words, are humans the only reason the planet warms or cools.

This is ignorant. Of course Earth's climate system has fluctuated over the course of its existence, but the evidence of climate change currently happening points to anthropogenic causes. This is an international scientific consensus of about 99%.

concensus science is not true science.

@oberpa: Lol, I didn't realize we were in the year 1317, where consensus "science" was more than reasonably doubted. It's going to be 2017, we have an enormous amount of evidence with data analyzing climate patterns going back thousands of years. But since you seem to live in the wrong century, let's just keep saying the earth is the flat center of the universe. I bet you do.

@ProxyFlex: When most research funds are given to programs the support human, caused, global warming and denying it to those who do not support it, it is no surprise there is more information supporting it than not. It is all about money with many "scientists" making a great living in supporting the ongoing conversation. Also, you don't want to argue a point, but instead enjoy making ad hominem attacks on someone who does not agree with your beliefs.

@oberpa: Lol, so then should we fund "research" to find the great ice wall at the end of the earth? That way it's fair. Or maybe to creationist "scientists" who want to prove that dinosaurs and humans lived together at one point? I'm sure they'd appreciate sucking funds out of real research that is justifiably funded. The US government is mandated by the Constitution to "promote the Progress of Science," and to do otherwise would not only be a negligible to science, but to the expectations of the Framers in regard to science. Yet, there is still an unfortunate number of public officials in Congress, in state capitols, and in the incoming White House, that deny science, not because scientific research is well-funded by the government, which it's not, but because they'd rather subsidize the pseudoscience promoted by fossil fuel corporations to receive campaign and superPAC funds. So deniers only fuel these entrenched interests by denying the realities facing millions of people facing devastating pollution, sea level rising, food shortages, mass extinction, etc. So excuse me for choosing to believe the scientific consensus that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not vice versa. Shameful that scientists should be funded for observing the Earth's rotations.

@ProxyFlex: WOW! I haven't seen such BS as yours in a long time. Malthus would be proud of you.
