Let us know when you have something by someone reputable.

As to the question of your title, over 95% of actual scientists agree that climate change is real. Perhaps you should read up on information from experts.

Your children's future is at stake. One side cares, one side will sell them out.
everyone keeps misrepresenting this 95-97% number. you wrongly assume that is it all scientists, and that is false. if you had bothered read the poll, it was 97% of IPCC scientists, not all of them. and sorry but UN scientists are going to be political in this regard and follow what the UN wants them to say.

"But China’s capital is not alone. Bloomberg News reports that heavy smog has forced more than 60 cities, including Beijing, to declare health alerts so far this year.

Last week, Chinese media announced the government is stopping local weather bureaus from making smog alert declarations. This raised suggestions that the government is trying to withhold information about air pollution."

Sure the climate changes but the question is how much of an abnormal impact is mans use of 100 million barrels of fossil fuel per day impacting the Earths climate.
A good read on whats happening and how those in the know are studying the problem and coming to their conclusions=https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring...al-warming.php

Thank you. CO2 has a positive feedback and that's proven. What is up for debate is whether anthropocentric releases is overpowering the natural cycles. There is a definite correlation to anthropocentric release and the climate that has become evident in the past decade as science has progressed our understanding of the climate. If someone tells you some factoid as MT Kilo will be without snow in a certain year, they are wrong. The true scientists like myself, run models and provide multiple scenarios of what could happen and score our predictions. So far the IPCC models have been right and that lends to their consensus. What everyone should be afraid off is what happens after we cross the temperature threshold. After that Global Warming can not be stopped and the amazon will burn and the ice caps will melt and billions of people will be underwater and droughts, famine, and extreme floods will occur. This is why action is needed now before we get to that point and we condemn our children to a desolate world with no hope.

Its also logical to reduce immigration in order to keep carbon footprints from increasing, but logic gets tossed right out the door in that regard because it's political.

LOL
Al Gore has the carbon footprint of Godzilla.
The hypocrisy with all the hysterical climate change eletist liberals with their private jets, multiple mega-mansions,
and gas guzzling limousines is stunning.
Tucker Carson just showed Obamas outrage on Trump leaving the Paris Accord and then listed how obama recently took five different private jet trips plus on a mega yacht to various parties and golfing all in a three day weekend.

I'm a climatologist and I don't fly private jets or have a yacht. Maybe stop with the stereotypes?

Ah ah ahhhhhhh, your boy obama stated that ""The debate is settled," he said, "climate change is a fact."

Is science fact (not even by you definition)? In case you've forgotten what fact means:

LMGTFY



It's settled, there is no more studying anything, it's fact, period, end of story.....
