Was famously quoted as 97% scientific consensus in 2013. This has now been updated. The data is so convincing that man is screwing up the climate that the consensus has climbed to 99.9%.
“We are virtually certain that the consensus is well over 99% now and that it’s pretty much case closed for any meaningful public conversation about the reality of human-caused climate change,” said Mark Lynas, a visiting fellow at the Alliance for Science and the paper’s first author.
There's really not that much to argue about. The trend is clear: as we put more CO2 in the air from burning fossil fuel, global temperatures have gone up because of it.

Lol. He is not a scientist if he thinks case closed and “there is no room for conversation”. Conversation is the very essence of science. We have so little data in the grand scheme of things there is no way we can tell whether man is causing the warming. How do they explain the warming cycles before man? The fact is the amount of data they have would be like predicting who the next president will be with one person’s opinion. Come back to me when we have millions - heck even thousands of years worth of data.

If you aren't willing to attack China or India for their egregious pollution, then I'm not willing to listen. For every coal plant we shut down, China is building two or three.
The debate isn’t about climate change existing or not existing.
The debate is that the leftist policies devised to fight climate change will do nothing but hurt our economy and make us weaker as a nation.
Even Michael Moore got behind a movie that laid it all out. Well, until he was threatened by his Democratic masters and was forced to distance himself from the movie, and now no one ever brings it up.

You're welcome to write a scientific journal article with solid data that disproves man-made climate change. Present a solid case and I'll switch sides if it's published and climate scientists accept your findings.
I disagree about the amount of data. There are tons and tons of data. I don't see how it's possible to burn 1,000 barrels of oil per second on this planet and not have the climate change. It's a closed system. That's like starting a fire in your fireplace with the flue closed and insisting it doesn't change the air in the house.
There's "Lots of data", but still no proof. (It's been that way since the first Earth Day, in 1971. And actually much longer.)
There's a reason for that, you know.
The temperature of the planet has increased and all the scientific studies indicate it's man made. What exactly would "proof" look like in your world, how much would the earths temperature need to increase before you became a believer.
It’s political and agenda driven.
Climate change is natural and normal.
You can’t stop it. No way, no how.
And you’re not gonna slow it down either.
There is just no escaping it. Try to stop the rain, try to stop snow.
I see where Russia is finally taking climate change seriously, it just took some fires in Siberia to convince Putin.
Yeah. How about that? Whoever thought Putin would steer Russia to net zero carbon? Meanwhile the US right continues to deny the whole thing. One just keeps coming back to the Xi argument that democracy is incapable of the consensus needed to address serious issues.
