Jacob- I thought your statement was not of the analytic level that you are capable of.
<<The overwhelming consensus of scientists, is that there is global warming, and it has been caused by human-created changes to the atmosphere. The only
scientists who say otherwise, are paid shills for the energy industry.<<
There is huge honest disagreement about global warming. The first question is whether we are cooling, the second is if we are, is this a transient shift, the third is whether it is a continuing recession of the ice age. Merely 10,000 yrs ago, NYC was covered in ice and 50,000 yrs ago NY was covered in 1000 ft of ice. Should we be concerned with a return of the ice age? Antarctica, where huge claims are being made of melts, has, at the other end, ice growing, and the temperature has actually cooled 2 degrees in the last 20 yrs. In addition, Mars has been getting warmer and I doubt if this is due to fossil fuels. Finally, I have never heard a good explanation of this, why doesn't hydrocarbon emissions block sun heat out rather than trap heat in? During that huge volcanic eruption of carbon-based emissions the earth cooled 8 degrees.
What I object to most, is your attacking the motives of those who disagree. I am a scientist who is skeptical about many of the "earth is falling -Chicken Little" hypotheses and global warming is not a closed case. I am not a shill for energy.
