@ Vikingod....Bovine Excrement!!!!
That SAME "scientific community" was telling us in the late 70's that we were all going to die from
GLOBAL COOLING.
As for the CO2 levels, it is well documented that the rise in CO2 levels
lags in relationship to global warming trends, it does not lead it.
Also, explain to me why MARS is experiencing the very same 'global warming' that we are here? Maybe AlGore has found a way to travel to Mars, and all his hot air about global warming is doing it. That's about as scientific as the 'consensus'.
'Scientific Consensus" is utter balderdash. There was a time when 'consensus' said that the world was flat. 'Consensus' said that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that the sun revolved around the Earth. I could go on and on, but you can see the trend.
I don't dispute that the Earth is warming, but it's nowhere near as warm as it was in the 800's, and nowhere near as warm as it has been MULTIPLE times in the past. In fact, by strict defination, we are still in an ICE AGE, albit at the end of said ice age.
You may believe all the 'Chicken Littles', but I'm not going to lose any sleep over what they are babbling about, nor am I going the feel guilty about NOT reducing my 'carbon footprint'.
EDIT:
Said Vikingod:
"You would be hard pressed to find one credible scientist nowadays that doesn't believe this is probably the greatest threat we have ever faced."
Says I:
How about a dozen or so here?

Hard pressed? Not really.
