So, sure, go to your little meeting and all of you froth at the mouth about how smart you are compared to the best climatologists in the world.

BTW, It's not the scientific community that is conspiring----It is the "powers that be", the ones that will profit from this nonsense. The scientists are merely their pawns, with a gun to their head, trying to survive professionally and financially since to state the truth results in suicide. And of course, the media is all too happy to aid them in pushing this false narrative.

Which parts of the post are untrue? You accuse the scientists of writing biased studies, glaciers are melting, sea level is rising, and temperatures are increasing.
Yes, I know, maybe the Greenland sheet is melting and Antarctica sheet is decreasing and maybe the glaciers in Glacier National Park are receding but those *other* glaciers are growing! And while that is anecdotal evidence (albeit on a fairly large scale), we all know there is no value in finding a global study since we "know" that study would be biased in favor of climate change anyway.
