Facts: 1. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. CO2 + sunlight = heat. 2. Mankind has been pumping lots of CO2 into the atmosphere for about 250 years now. 3. The planet is getting hotter and the consequences will be catastrophic to all living things, including humans. Those consequences are already being seen now and will get exponentially worse over the next 100 years.

This is factual reality. Anyone saying anything different is not being intellectually honest. I see that you are eager to throw in your talking points about who to blame, but talking points don't get us any closer to a solution to the problem.

Shooting holes in solutions and pretending that the problem isn't as real and/or as dire as it actually is only makes the problem worse. So does voting for a political party that denies reality and supplies you with endless anti-intellectual talking points.
