Problem is you got one side claiming it doesn't exist.....at all.....ever. And another side saying it's our fault and you need to give us money to fix it......or you hate your kids and the planet.

"you got one side claiming it doesn't exist.....at all.....ever"

I don't think too many conservatives say that or believe it. The clinmate clearly changes, it's not staying exactly the same. The questions are, (1) are we the cause, and (2) what's the effect, and (3) if the effect is bad, what can we reasonably do about it?

If the left was correct on this issue, Fargo North Dakota would be exporting sugar cane and pineapples by now.

are you a "normal human being"?

"On Tuesday, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy delivered a scathing message to those who deny anthropogenic global warming:

“When I put a report out on acting on climate like we did yesterday that shows how dramatically our world will change if we don’t act, and just the benefits we can deliver if we do. I am doing that not to push back on climate deniers.

You can have fun doing that if you want, but I’ve batted my head against the wall too many times and if the science already hasn’t changed their mind it never will.

But in any democracy, it’s not them that carries the day. It is normal human beings that haven’t put their stake into politics above science. It’s normal human beings that want us to do the right thing, and we will if you help us.”

In 2014, NASA admitted that it was unable to explain “the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years.”

Despite rising CO2 levels, there has been no statistically significant global warming since 1997. There has been a rise in global temperatures of 0.27 degrees Celsius in the lower troposphere according to satellite data since 1979, the year when such data began compilation.

Regardless, it appears as though Gina McCarthy believes that 53% of Americans are not “normal human beings.”
