Science? No way. I simply reported on field observations that nobody else that I know of has made. You can mock that if you want, but I'll put it up against the field observations taken from somebody's desk. Chestnut blight devastated the American chestnut. They used to call it Endothia parasitica when I first studied it in college. Now they call it Cryphonectria parasitica. Taxonomists are a strange breed. The same thing happened to elm trees. And white pine trees. These diseases were spread by humans who did not understand the potential. They caused devastating economic damage like forcing your uncles into the moonshine business where they probably got rich if they were smart. Things change, on that we can all agree. Right? I mean, you can find sea fossils on the highest peaks in Glacier Park. I personally have found glacial till plastered on the sides of mountains thousands of feet above the canyon floors. I myself reside on glacial till and drive up a big hill of it on my way home. I'd say that ice ages have advanced and retreated many times during earth's history, most of them long before any human potential. If there is global warming, and I suspect there is global change if not warming, I against throwing money at it in some futile attempt that does not include the major emerging polluters like India, China, and the like.
