Of course he's a climate science expert. He teaches at the local community college after all.

Prove this. Because at the moment I'm pretty sure you're wrong. I can treat people whose claims are backed up by facts differently than denialists, whose claims are not. And I do.

Prove what?

Look, I get it. You don't pretend to be objective. You either can't or won't look into the claims of each side with equal suspicion. You dogmatically adhere to your beliefs, and only want to entertain the cheer leaders for your cause. I get that, and I accept that you'll never have an objective conversation about the issue.

So maybe you shouldn't answer my first question after all, and we'll just end our discussion here.

Science and observations support only one side of this argument from what I can see...I'll trust the scientists over people with unsubstantiated opinions because I'm not an idiot.

Not true. There are plenty of climate scientists/meteorologists/scientists that question it. They are typically "slapped down" and told to shut up. And if they don't, they are blackballed and discredited.
