Sure there are some politics after vast new amounts of information are gathered and old naming and category conventions need to be changed. None of this changes the fact that if you were to spend the money, you could get 2 large glass bottles and put 2 thermometers in each. Add just a little bit more CO2 to one than the other. The temperature in that bottle WILL go up. It's called physics. It's called reality. As my signature says:
In 1856 Eunice Foote discovers
CO2 traps heat. That's how she did it! 168 years ago!

And climate deniers want to challenge this? It's like challenging the temperature water boils at at sea-level, or other old stuff you look up in old books. We know the basic physics. We KNOW it's warming the planet. The hardest part sometimes is tracking down exactly where that heat is going and what it is going to do. EG: 91% of it ends up in the ocean, which is a mathematically chaotic system and there are some mysteries and nuances in there that are challenging some ocean models in some parts of the globe. But generally speaking - on the largest models - the trends are predictable. And
bad. And now being increasingly confirmed with every year. And the effects are too broad and universal and yet complicated to also spell out here in one easy go - which is why I'm still working on an acronym that is a sufficient summary of it all over in the other thread.
But the bottom line? It makes every charitable or social concern we care about worse. It hurts the poor and vulnerable. It wrecks economies so there's less to share with the sick and poor and elderly. It hurts agriculture so there's less food to go around. And if it gets too bad - it could cause major powers wars. Christians have no business coming in and sneering at all this. It's like someone going in and sneering at MS patients and saying "You just don't have enough faith to get better" or something like that. It's not kind, not accurate, and not very moral.
