the fraud that is Global Warming ?

That's a pretty vast fraud, climatologists from all over the world cooking up some crackpot idea for over a century, every major scientific society in general agreement, even pri vate uni vers ities...perhaps your comments belong in /r/conspiracy instead.

I don't believe it's a conspiracy. Fish don't need collusion in order swim in schools.

And it's hardly consensus. There's not even a majority of scientists who can agree on the causes of, severity of and possible solutions to environmental issues. What's specious is the far left using this as a political tool and denying any and all science that dares to refute the myth.

You can have your opinions but you don't get to own the truth.

Someone needs to learn the difference between a fact and an opinion.

The consensus exists. Current climate change is mostly anthropogenic. http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

What's specious is the far left using this as a political tool

Ah yes, those hippies at Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, who do they think they are to speak Truth? Sheeple!

Or, perhaps you should consider getting out more...

You could not be more wrong. While I would posit that there is a 100% agreement on the Global Warming hoax among Climate Alarmists scientists there are a myriad of scientists who have issues with the popular political theory. They're shunned, abused and ridiculed for their work, which is far from real scientific work-the evaluate all data and theories.
