Only conservatives are smart enough to realize that man made global warming is a total hoax concocted to redistribute money. In most cases, our money.

Is CO2 a greenhouse gas? Yes, almost universal agreement
Is CO2 the most notable greenhouse gas? No, water vapor is #1
Is CO2 a trace gas? Yes, 0.04% of atmosphere
Has CO2 been at higher levels in the past? Yes, while before the industrial revolution.
At prior higher levels, did the earth experience catastrophic “runaway warming”? No.
Is the earth coming out of a little ice age? Yes, so cherry picking data from 1900+ A.D. is not an accurate historical perspective.
Is NOAH “adjusting” data to make past years cooler and more recent years hotter? Yes, they no longer provide the raw data. The “adjustments” are for theoretical reasons.
Do plants benefit from CO2? Yes, it is needed for them to exist and more of it means more plant life.
Is CO2 a heavy gas? Yes, it hugs the ground, where plants live and is less abundant higher up in the atmosphere.

So I’m supposed to believe a trace gas, that is necessary for plant life, that provides an equilibrium to the climate, that has had higher levels in the past, will become catastrophic if it increases a little more due to human activity? It’s also not surprising that all of the solutions to this problem happen to be political and aligned with progressives.

I love how these folks believe that we’re ignorant because of Fox News and things the President tweets. It says more about their view on how media controls minds than anything. They don’t understand how there can be resistance as they have a common narrative.

In addition, the 97% number is false. This only true when asking scientists if they believe CO2 is a greenhouse gas. When you ask if any warming is due to human production of CO2 then you get a very different number.

While 85–90% of Democrats are worried about global warming, realize humans are causing it, and are aware that most scientists agree on this,

Note the wording. "realize that humans are causing it" as if there is no doubt.

So what is the median temperature of the earth? Next question why is there not only one computer model for climate prediction if there is “consensus” among these experts?

These “warmers” are anti-science grant-grubbing losers. They make up their numbers. What liars, frauds, fools and criminals.

Doesn’t anyone ask if globull warming is great for the planet? Maybe a warmer planet is good for us. A longer growing season would be great for food production here in the Northeast. It’s 33 degrees today with a wind chill making it feel like 24 degrees. We should be getting our garden ready by now in a normal April. Last year I wore my coat until June. SMH

First, data shows there is cooling, if anything. The sun causes climate “change”...and seasons. What morons.

Vast majority of ManBearPig supporters are unaware that 97% number is all the respondents who agreed that humans have an impact on the climate. The majority of that group fell into the “very little” or “some” impact. Only about 2-3% of them said there was a significant human impact on the climate.

But those facts escape the worshippers at the church of ManBearPig.

Conservatives are not “Clueless” about it, they refuse to accept it. Thats a big difference. Its actually WORSE than they believe, because if it was simply ignorance, they could possibly change how we feel, but its not. Its a choice.

And the Guardian is clueless as to where that number came from.
Oh well, journalists.
Math is not their friend.

Scientific facts are not generated through “consensus.”
