Man made Global warming   is just like Voodoo, Jesus Christ, and Wicca. Just wait till the official state run religion starts hammering you with a new tax because your house is not green enough, or you exceed the federal mandated carbon footprint. Then when you find out how much money to upgrade, you can’t sell it because it is not up to green code.

Sorry people, but I did the math and by the time I get done upgrading my insulation from r13 to r30 and the extra taxes on the increased value of the house. The break-even point for the saved utilities is 50 years and I will be dead by then! Not to mention that “if” global warming is real, just think of the heating savings I would get from an increase of 10F in the winter

  There is no doubt among the world's top climate scientists that humans are causing climate change. There is no way that there can be a world wide conspiracy throughout all these scientists from many different countries and disciplines. Faux News may try to present cherry picked denials, but if you check the evidence from those in a position to know, you will see that the facts are in, there is no reasonable denial. Doug

Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gases, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases and aerosols affect climate by altering incoming solar radiation and out-going infrared (thermal) radiation that are part of Earth’s energy balance. Changing the atmospheric abundance or properties of these gases and particles can lead to a warming or cooling of the climate system. Since the start of the industrial era (about 1750), the overall effect of human activities on climate has been a warming influence. The human impact on climate during this era greatly exceeds that due to known changes in natural processes, such as solar changes and volcanic eruptions.
