Rambi;

But repeating arguments when there is no absolute truth out there yet to offer- that we can actually prove or agree on-

Do you believe in evolution? Do you argue against those who do not? Is the evidence of melting glaciers less convincing than digging up a bone here and there?

That is more or less how I see it. I take exception to strident posts asserting the debate is over xxxx, is real.

I think the world has much more pressing issues, and energy scarcity is about on top.

<<<not that discussion of the topic is fruitless, but that the approach has been. It seems way more focused on proving the other side "wrong" , pulling out lists of experts and then denigrating the "experts" on the other side, or posting articles that present the view of one of the zillion of highly qualified scientists, when an opposing view is right around the next link. >>>

From what I can tell, no one on this thread has the science background to make a judgement on this topic. But that doesn't mean a judgement can not be made.

The judgement has to be made on the basis of experts in the field.

Based on that, there is a clear pov that makes the most sense.
