>> And at this point the proof is at best shaky, and pretty much nonexistent. >> And that is unmitigated bullshit. The problem, of course, is that it is ALWAYS unmitigated bullshit to the head-nodding consensus. Of course THEY believe they're right. It just doesn't make it true. Sorry, there just isn't any convincing evidence of it. Here is a sample of the "evidence": As geochemist James Lawrence Powell continues to prove, the only people still debating whether or not climate change is “real,” and caused by human activity, are the ones who aren’t doing the actual research. In an update to his ongoing project of reviewing the literature on global warming, Powell went through every scientific study published in a peer-review journal during the calendar year 2013, finding 10,885 in total (more on his methodology here). Of those, a mere two rejected anthropogenic global warming. So, the evidence of global warming is that almost everyone writing about is a global warming specialist. What a surprise! Another surprise: Every article in last month's Journal of Accountancy was written by -- you guess it -- a CPA! Not one of those articles advocated ignoring generally accepted accounting principles. So, you see how this works, right?
