Well, A$$_on_the_Hole, you went right to your liberal talking point page, did a little copy and paste I see. Didn't address any of the warmers lies they spouted on a tv program, just went to prepared hogwash. It's a shame we have people that believe everything they are told by supposed fart smellers, excuse me, meant to say smart fellers that have been caught in lie after lie, changing their stories every time they are uncovered.
Believe it if you want, I'm too much of a skeptic to believe made up bullshat because I'm told to.
You might want to step out of your box. You might find a different world out there.
Other than the thousands upon thousands of peer-reviewed studies and articles from scientist all over the world. Is that what you mean by lack of proof?
It's amazing how intellectually lazy you are. Or just plain ignorant. Made up BS? Thousands of peer-reviewed studies and articles from scientist from over 80 nations (including capitalist, communist, socialistic and hell, even dictatorships) are all just "made up"
I see you got your god-complex on turbo this morning. Shouldn't you be doing something you actually understand, like shoveling ****?
Yup. Show me the proof!

Why? It does not matter what proof is shown. Deniers are simply unable to understand the science.
The consensus that humans are causing recent global warming is shared by 90%–100% of publishing climate scientists according to six independent studies by co-authors of this paper...Climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that humans are causing recent global warming. The consensus position is articulated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) statement that 'human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century...The National Academies of Science from 80 countries have issued statements endorsing the consensus position
But, yeah, the American conservative, after being hand-fed BS from the Koch brothers, are the only deniers.
We should jeep in mind that the scientists who argue against AGW are, their opponents say, in the pay of Big oil, so they are not to be believed. What I seldom hear anything about is the conflict of interest that AGW advocates have. They want to get their papers published and with this publication comes recognition, and career advancement. If they buck the trend this does not happen, and the more alarmist they make their predictions the more money they get to study the problem.
Plus there is also peer pressure to conform with the prevailing view.
How is this not a conflict of interest, just they say the skeptics have?
FTR, I try to be as green as I can be, even though I am an AGW skeptic--not denier.

There is likely 10x or more money for being in the CAGW crowd from government funding than there is from being on Big Oil money and on the skeptic side. Most of the crowing about being on Big Oil money has proven to be false. But that doesn't stop the idiots from making that argument. A lot of the "science" that they claim is so sound has also been completely debunked. The original hockey stick is the biggest joke of all.
I'm probably the only guy on here who will be building his next house to LEED standards. I already have made many "green" changes to my current home and I drive an electric car. Yet I can still read and be critical of scientific papers and make up my own mind. I can be a skeptic. Consensus has no place in science. Anyone who says it does is a moron.
Consensus (or, lack of) is a core concept in science. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand science. Here's a starter: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/the_meaning_of_consensus_in_science.
