How Do We Know that Humans Are the Major Cause of Global Warming?

Published Jul 14, 2009 Updated Jan 21, 2021


"Scientists agree that global warming is caused mainly by human activity. Specifically, the evidence shows that certain heat-trapping gases, such as carbon dioxide, are warming the world—and that we release those gases when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas."

"Scientists agree" - bullshit.  Scientists can't even explain their own models without putting in fudge factors that force the models to come out with their own pre-established political agendas.

What do I think of climate science?  In the memorable words of Gandhi, "I think it would be a good idea", 'cause to-date there's been precious little science and way too much fascist authoritarian politics.

99.9999999999999999999999999999% of global warming is caused by the sun.  Any so-called scientist suggesting otherwise is no scientist.  And anyone making the claim that "Scientists agree that global warming is caused mainly by human activity" is a liar, @peterthompson .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

There was a Petition Project to request the US not sign on to the Kyoto accords. Over 30,000 scientists signed on. I know. I am one who did.

The site appears to have been scrubbed.
I could not find thepetitionproject.org even on the wayback machine.

The only way to get "scientists agree" is for them to censor all of us who do not.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He'll likely re-emerge as a mole instead of troll.
