When there is a general agreement among the science community that global warming exists, you have to wonder why some don't believe global warming is attributted to mankind.

Because the climate warmed and cooled many times while there was no man around. Unless dinasaurs were driving around in SUV's then something is amiss.

But there have not been such drastic change in a short time period.

Are you talking about the temperature rising a couple of degrees, or anthropogenic global warming? There's a difference.

Because they think all people are knuckle draggers. That's been the only exposure to people they have experienced.

How do you know? The don't break down the numbers on a ten year basis from a million years ago. Maybe they should. No they only tout what will help out their argument. Keep howling. There is a big ball in the sky that has been around that warms the planet. Simple stuff.

No there hasn't. You must be young. In the 70's and early 80's we had this exact same weather.

Bingo. Global warming is primarily caused by naturally occurring water vapor.

Yes, fossil fuels play a role, but it is so small compared to water vapor that we may as well ignore it.

Water vapor? Global warmers don't know anything about water vapor. They are told to monitor co2 levels so that is what they do. lol

The thing is, there isn't a general agreement in the science community on this. Man-made global warming has been debunked time and time again by scientists.
