How utterly delightfully condescending of you.. Please respect my opinion regardless of whether you agree with it or not.
I respect your right to have an oppinion. However I think you are in the wrong. What is more, the selfish view has a larger impact than the condescending view. We have to share this planet, it's atmosphere is a communal resource. Therefore a selfish viewpoint where someone concludes that the surprising body of evidence is wrong, is an impact on everyone on the planet.
Indefinitely if you follow a single condition: Anything you introduce must also come from that balanced greenhouse. After all, all the carbon being "introduced" is from this enclosed planetary system.
Fine by me, we can take the plants in that system, and store them away in anaerobic conditions within the system, and wait for your own CO2 to take effect...
Fair enough. By the way, where does that 97% get it's funding? Universities perhaps? The same universities that are themselves always seeking grants and donations from wealthy alumni?
There's no such thing as unbiased research on either side.
Science is funded by many people. The point behind science tho is that with the scientific method, I can go out and do some research and make an observation and reach a conclusion, say:
"I have done extensive research and found that drinking beer makes me drunk"
You can look at my research, my observations, and my methods, which are open for anyone to see. You can then repeat the experiment. You can take the test subject (me) to the pub, and ply me with beer for an evening, and observe for yourself that I am drunk. Science relies on adherence to the scientific method, and a large aspect of that is transparency of data and reproducibility of the experiment.
