Climate Change. Yes the science is settled.

special interests do not want you to think that it is.

"The report was signed by nine Republican senators. The committee is dominated by 10 Democrats, including presidential candidate Hillary Clinton."
-- Melbourne Herald Sun
Yeah. Sounds like some Republicans want to continue to cast doubt on this subject. Why should I address an obviously partisan report? Yet I will, just to make you happy BTS. -

"A political interest in the science not being settled is not the same as a proof that the science is settled. There is also a tremendous political interest in the "science being settled". A dismissive wave of the hand by some of the posters on this thread does not make it so. Top scientists disagree on the issue-it is definitely not settled."
BTS, a dismissive wave of the hand in posting politically biased Senate committee reports does not cast doubt on the facts of climate change. Your Senate post proves my point. These politicians do not want the public to think the debate is over.
Thank you once again for proving my point. -

Carla, Gore is raising awareness. If he emits more greenhouse gas in one month than an entire American family over a year, how is that relevant? Have you considered how many people and businesses he is reaching with the facts and thereby causing them to reduce their emissions? Do you think it would add up to one American family over the course of a year?
The facts are in, the science is settled. Climate change is happening now. For those that don't want to listen to 4 increasingly alarming UN reports I have a question. What is your motive? -
