The amount of money changing hands around the climate change scam, is unbelievable. More cash than oil, alcohol, drugs, and internet p*rn all combined and multiplied by a factor of a ton. If global warming is allowed to be debunked, thousands and thousands of fake jobs will go away, and half of the government would become obsolete overnight.

A chemical engineer's point of view:

FACT:

Around 1850 the world began digging taking fuels out of the ground and burning them for energy. This amounts to taking stored Carbon out of the ground, converting it to Carbon Dioxide and releasing it into the atmosphere. Today mankind releases roughly 21 billion metric tons of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere in this way. That number increases every year.


FACT:

The (directly) measured concentration of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has increased 25% since 1959. Surveying ice core samples shows that Carbon Dioxide levels have increased 40% since pre-industrial times.


FACT:

Carbon Dioxide is known to be a greenhouse gas. That is, Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere will allow sunlight to pass through unhindered but will trap that light energy in like a blanket once it has been absorbed and converted to heat. (In just the same way that the interior of your car gets hotter than hell on a sunny day.)


CONCLUSION:

If we know we're pumping massive amounts of previously stored Carbon into the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide, AND we can measure the increase in Carbon Dioxide concentration, AND we expect Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere to increase the temperature; how can anyone argue that Global Warming isn't real? Especially when the graph of Average Global Temperature, so closely follows the same trend as Carbon Dioxide concentration in the atmosphere.

The only question left to answer is; How much is it going to affect us?
