  1. That the Earth is heating up is incontrovertible; the only real issue is just how much humans are complicit in this.

  2.  @adrianthoroughgood1191  Actually, having looked into this, I stand corrected. It seems that current global warming conclusions have led to some confusion as to how more than 100% of observed warming could be attributable to human activity. A human contribution of greater than 100% is possible because natural climate change associated with volcanoes and solar activity would most likely have resulted in a slight cooling over the past 50 years, offsetting some of the warming associated with human activities. My only issue with all this is that while I don’t deny the 1 degree Celsius rise; I’m still not 100% convinced that this is wholly attributable to human activity, even if you date it from about 1850. Most of it probably is, however, and there is enough there to accept this and factor it into one’s life.

  3.  @michaelrch  Science, by the way, is always revisable with new data coming in; it’s never ‘concluded’ as you suggest. If you want the ‘concluded’ stuff you go to the religion class for that.

  5.  @adrianthoroughgood1191  As I say, I’m more or less on board with this. More, rather than less. Just for the record, you can’t have more than 100% of a finite capacity.

  6.  @adrianthoroughgood1191  Percentages are like fractions, parts of the whole. You can’t have more than 100 percent of a finite capacity. If you give something everything you’ve got, that’s 100% you’ve given.

  7.  @michaelrch  The scientific consensus clearly agrees with you. Sometimes though, I’m not 100% convinced. Mostly am, however.

  8.  @davidwatson2399  I said that I more or less agree with the thesis that humans are a significant contributory factor. Have these 👓.

  9.  @davidwatson2399  Yeah, but if you look into this a little more, it can make you think. There are many vested interests whose funding relies on the thesis of manmade global warming. Now, as I say, the scientific consensus seems to say that manmade warming is significant here but The United States government has spent enormous sums on global warming/climate change issues, including science research, although the ocean of funding is so large, fed by so many rivers of tax dollars, that it's hard to tally it all up. Now, if my funding relied on the theory that current global warming is primarily human driven, I might be inclined to promulgate that very theory. Just sayin’.

  10.  @davidwatson2399  I’ve answered that question twice.

  11.  @adrianthoroughgood1191  My caveat stems from human agendas; we are very good, as a species, at creating agendas to suit our ends, but in this case, as about 95% of climate scientists are in agreement that this 1 Celsius rise is principally attributable to human activity, I can go with this. Actually, even anecdotally it’s quite easy to see that this planet is warming, without actual statistics to prove this. For example, I live on the 55th parallel, and as a youngster we had guaranteed weeks of snow every winter; in the past 25 years or so, I can count on the fingers of one hand just how many ‘proper’ snowy winters we’ve had. So, anecdotal evidence in this case is quite powerful.

  12.  @davidwatson2399  I didn’t. Can you read? I said that I kinda go with the accepted wisdom, dipshit.
