Disagree. Not only has the existence of global warming been conclusively proven, but ALL of the predicted effects are indeed demonstrably in the process of happening; CO² levels are already at record highs- for the entire span of human civilization, not just the last year or ten, sea levels ARE and have been rising for years, global weather has been getting more extreme, levels of other climate active pollutants like methane are also at all-time highs. Then there's other even more, scary estrogen reactive pollutants that mess with the very foundation of our bodies, radioactivity, heavy metal contamination...
It takes someone really well versed in self delusion not to see what's going on.
Corporations don't care about the environment or the needs of stupid humans because it isn't profitable to do so. This is why we need laws, so everyone plays on a level playing field and those who are being exploited can sue for redress of grievances. Unless that's available to EVERYONE, we don't have freedom or democracy in our country. What we have instead is dollar driven fascism.
Been meaning to reply: Sorry friend, but you speak of self-delusion and you are your own best example. Let me start by saying that for any scientist to say things are settled in this arena is pretty ludicrous considering the huge amount of variables and unknowns. That said, almost all of your points are just plain wrong.
"...the existence of global warming has been conclusively proven"
Satellite data, which was generally the standard until it stopped working for the global warming crowd, shows that there has been little or no warming for the last 19 years. Maybe you are choosing to believe those trotting out things like "2014 was the warmest year on record" and I will tell you that they are not using the standard. Satellite data has been proven to provide the most accurate account. (I can get you links)
Bottom line is...you are wrong...global warming not only has not been proven but just the opposite is true.
"CO2 levels are already at record highs"
Here you are correct. Not sure there is much we can do about China, India, and volcanos, but strangely...see point number one. In spite of through the roof CO2 the temperatures have not risen in almost 2 decades. I know Bjorn Lomborg has acquiesced on this point but all the charts still show temps rising first and then C02...now maybe it accelerates things but I am still not buying it. You are kind of dancing around the fact that although high, there have been higher levels in Earths history...you know...without man, cars, corporations. Where I agree with Lomborg though is that y'all are getting your pants in way too much a bundle regardless. Do we all want to strive towards less pollution? You bet, but lets not do it to the populations detriment and without hyperbole about things like coal fired plants.
"sea levels ARE and have been rising for years"
There has been some rising, but NOTHING close to what the alamists were telling us a decade ago and according to most experts the rise that has happened this century so far has not been alarming at all. The Maldives still exists and a richer because of their being used as an example...now a failed one. Like the ice caps the oceans have been rising and falling forever...pretty arrogant of man to thing we can do something about that.
"global weather has been getting more extreme"
blantently NOT true. So much of what you are stating is what was prognosticated by you and yours using hysteria conjured up out of one bad hurricane year.
As to the rest, well I am not versed in the estrogen problem, but I have to at this point say I have my doubts based on your record so far.
