I am picky with terminology, so let me explain. . .
I strongly urge people to stop calling anthropogenic global warming a “hoax” or “scam.” It’s not. There is indeed a legitimate underlying scientific basis.
While a consensus of scientific opinion is irrelevant, as Dr. Judith Curry and Dr. Roy Spencer have pointed out, there is general agreement within the scientific literature on these three things:
➊ Global mean surface temperature (GMST) has risen about 1.2°C since 1850. The warming since 1980 is about as equal in magnitude and rate as the early 20th century warming from 1910 to 1945. In general, it has been warming for >250 years. 📈
