Is this going to be a mild, temporary warming or is it going to be catastrophic? Is it something that we can actually do something about? I've read some things that say even if we follow the Paris agreement to the letter, it will do very little to change the future.

If we can delay or stop the warming, what will it cost? What would we be willing to give up?

On the other hand, there are 31,000 scientists that say that it's not happening.

On top of this is the fact that some of the people that have been pushing this global warming idea for the past couple of decades have become very wealthy doing it. Also, many of the things that were predicted to have happened by now have not happened.

How are we, as lay people, supposed to know what to believe?

Too funny, you didn't even bother to read your own link...which makes you look like a fool.

From your OWN link....

While polls of scientists actively working in the filed of climate science indicate strong general agreement that Earth is warming and human activity is a significant factor, 31,000 scientists say there is "no convincing evidence" that humans can or will cause "catastrophic" heating of the atmosphere.

Do '31,000 scientists say global warming is not real'? Maybe. But more importantly what is the significance of these signatures? The majority of signatures are engineers (10,102). 3,046 are in medicine. 2,965 are in biology, biochemistry and agriculture. 4,822 in chemistry and chemical engineering.

To participate in the petition one only needs to mark a check box to show that one has a Ph.D., M.S., or B.S. degree, and then fill in the fields.

Unfortunately, that means that anyone can sign the petition, whether they have a degree or not.

Only 12% of those who signed...

According to the data on the petition site, only 12% of those who signed the petition are indicated to have affiliation with atmosphere, earth, and environmental science. But there is no indication how many work in the field of climate science?
The next time you rush and Google something to use as a link, you really should read it first...so you won't have to wipe egg off of your face.


And then you say this?

But hey...we appreciate the guffaws.
