Geez, I wonder which side I would trust more
I would trust the side that doesn't have something to gain financially.
Wouldn't you?

LOL..a tweet saying it's cold on the east coast shatters years of research by credible climate scientists? You sure you want to use that as your argument against global warming?

A lot of what is written about global climate change focuses on changes in temperature, which is misleading, since climate change as a concept covers changes in many meteorological variables. Also, changes in global average temperatures can be misleading because climate change will vary widely from place to place, just as climates vary widely in geographic terms, and so will measures that people and climate-sensitive industries will take to adjust to climate change, no matter what is causing this.

There are other forces at work besides man like this recent observation:https://www.space.com/36188-spotless...-sunspots.html. We were told back in 2011 that fewer or no sunspots could signal the start of an earth cooling cycle:https://news.nationalgeographic.com/...space-science/.

Then we have this other news that could imply that the melting of our ice sheets might not be caused by man: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...nos-antarctica.

I am not saying to rule out the man's meddling; I am just saying that sometimes I think we give ourselves too much credit.

It's cold outside here. The rest of the world is burning.

It is flaw in the human makeup that many can not comprehend matters that do not affect them directly or within a few miles of which they live.

These are solid, based in science, and undisputed factors that they can't bring into their curve of 'global warming'. They also explain the spreading out of mankind into other more hospitable locations throughout history.

It's so tiring to know how the world actually works and then to have people like Gore subverting the data, manipulating it and of course making every weather trend, natural cycles attributed to anthropogenic climate change.
You mean "La Niña." But you're right. They do not take into account natural events. Volcanoes spew tons of "stuff" into the atmosphere ...all at once. Yet they think that man can outdo nature? It's just absurd.

Well, we do have national weather reports that show what's happening nationally, and if we want, we can also look at global weather. Just sayin'. I don't think people are that blind. What we reject is the notion that man has that kind of power, to affect nature in such an extreme way. Even in the days when steel mills dumped tons of stuff into the atmosphere and darkened cities and covered them with soot, it was less than one volcano can do, and we have cleaned that up many decades ago. Coal fired power plants are also cleaner as technology has advanced. So we're actually polluting less than in years past.
