MormonVideoGame Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Name just one scientific organization (at least 26 yrs old) that doubts the global warming theory. I say 26 yrs old because the partisan games started in the 90s. No organization with an obvious agenda please, such as the Society of Petroleum Engineers. No idea what the position of the Society of PE is anyway

Then there was the medieval warm period (now known to be global) which was warmer than it is now (must have been all those medieval power stations and cars). But human induced warming is clearly speculative at best.

Global warming - who cares? Is the earth getting warmer? Probably. Did man have any impact on this? Maybe. So what?

But human induced warming is clearly speculative at best. This is the issue. Few reasonable people doubt that warming is occuring, but the issue at hand is whether it is natural, which has happened many times in the geological past, or whether it is manmade, which in the eyes of many calls for draconian social engineering to stop it. Of course there are partisan politics involved--the progressives want to use GW as an excuse to completely restructure society more to their liking, while the other side wants to stick it to the progressives by doing nothing. Poor planet is in for a heck of a ride. 1
