    The following is a basic encapsulation of how scientists pushing the theory of Climate Change perform their voodoo science:

    Actually from articles scattered across decades, it seems accurate enough. Besides which, who's going to argue with Dilbert? But 'settled science'? Sorry Barack Obama, but settled science it is not:

    Pretty much here's HOW the myth that it is settled science came about in the first place:

    If governments and special interests groups on the left toss enough money and enough promises of influence their way then the average scientist seems willing enough to settle and settle for . . . anything. 'nuff said.

    I've always found Scott Adams insightful.

    I'm inclined to go with scientists over a cartoonist, but I'm not an expert on the topic (and neither are 99.99% of the other posters on here).
    Rising CO2 and sea levels are verifiable and concerning.
    Maybe this is all a big experiment. One guess as to who are the guinea pigs.

    You can go with scientists all you want. Hell, you can go with phrenology if that's what you're into.

    The problem is that we know that's not what you want. Can we be "science deniers" and go our separate ways?

    Nope, I didn't think so. And that's a bit of a problem.

    He tends to tell the core truth about things and then makes it funny.

    Anybody notice the 'scientist' looks like Micheal Mann? Wonder if Mann will sue?

    Remember wasn't science wasn't political? I mean before Al Gore's SciFi fabrication? That was the impetus of the world's largest con and the beginning of the inquisition against sanity.

    Adams used to be funny. Now his shtick seems to consist of garden variety right-wing whining (see Miller, Dennis).

    The said thing is that to right wingers, phrenology and science are the same thing

    What gets me about this whole "debate" is that even IF the scientists are wrong...the result is a cleaner environment. Freedom from the tyranny of oil states like Saudi Arabia and Russia. Up to date technology. JOBS in renewable energy and manufacturing

    And that's just if they're wrong...

    The OP does not appear to understand that Global Climate Change predates Obama.

    What do you expect when conspiracy theory thinking replaces scientific thinking?

    Gasp! Does it? You mean Al Gore did not produce and promote the total lie that is "An Inconvenient Truth in the 1990s or early in the 2000s?' Gosh!

    In 2016 he actually had to promise leftists that he would hold his nose and vote for Hillary . . . and then he admitted that he did so simply so that the fascist-inclined Left would not destroy him as a cartoonist.

    Psssst . . . and corresponding rising cost of . . . everything. It all negatively impacts the amount of income working people take home because green energy expense is enormous and it all gets passed along to the consumer and wage earner.
