The most important of these over the long term is CO2, whose concentration in the atmosphere is rising principally as a result of fossil-fuel combustion and deforestation."
or any other mainstream science organisation worldwide.
Because literally anyone who does not agree with you is ignorant and any source that does not agree with you is unreliable and discredited. Gotcha.

No. I am reflecting the views of mainstream science. Anyone who completely ignores overwhelming evidence and the evidence-based views of all the mainstream science organisations and seriously believes whatever some hack journalist from the tabloid press writes or what some lay person with very little knowledge about climate science on science denier/conspiracy blogs writes is 'reliable' and 'credible', is probably willfully ignorant or may have problems with coping with reality for some reason.

Yes you, as you actually managed to illustrate in your post above immediately after you denied it.

Denials, deflections and name calling. These are your calling cards, and without them, your post count would surely fall on this forum by well over 50%.

I'm not a "leftist"

I'm a full on fiscal conservative that's capable of thinking for myself. I come to these logical conclusions by deciding if there is enough evidence to support them. Check it out...........

Climate change= most likely real
Organized religion= major BS
Trickle down economics= major BS, but I don't care about the bottom
OJ= he did it
Obama's Birth certificate= Who gives a ****
911= terrorists flew planes into buildings
Trevon Martin= was shot in self defense
Obamacare= It's better for america, but worse for me, so I don't support it
Tax increases= see obamacare
Abortion= should be free
Ferguson= a future career criminal was shot and killed
pit bulls= It's more the dogs than the dirtbags that own them
gay marriage= effects nothing
legalized marijuana= I hate potheads, but i'm a hypocritical drunk


I could do this all day..............

If you don't like the 100% BS claims you parrot from the tabloid press and conspiracy blogs exposed as 100% rubbish by evidence-based facts, then don't post 100% BS claims.
