That is exactly right.

There are 50,000 scientists who actually DO work in the exact field stating "yes, this is us, and it is happening"

And there are barely any, most who are not even properly in the field, stating no, its not.

And that is supposedly enough justification to stop taking action, and discuss it.

If some moron on the street stops me and tells me that eating vegetables will actually increase my risk of heart attack, in spite of all the evidence against this claim and teh sheer number of actual professionals telling me otherwise, I certainly dont stop it to open the topic to group discussion between the street urchin and people who actually know their stuff.

This really does fire me up. We are looking at a massive loss of species alone in barely 100 years because of the current state of warming, and all evidence points to us being the cause.

It doesnt take a genius to work it out when you look at the basic numbers of carbon taken from outside of the carbon cycle and pumped into what is an extremely thin atmosphere, in combination with a large scale destruction of regions that cycle the carbon. Its bloody obvious.

The discussion is literally over, the evidence is absolutely overwhelming. And all of this evidence has been peer reviewed and scrutinised across the board as per the scientific method. Its real.
