Not an opinion, an informed fact. I just listen to people who actually know what they are talking about who have no axe to grind, i.e. climate scientists who do this for a living (and not bought-and-paid-for whores of the fossil fuel industry such as James Inhofe who get hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the oil and coal industries).
Any time somebody tells you the "science is settled" and no further questioning on the subject is permitted, you should immediately question what you are being told. At the very least look at it with a skeptical eye. You appear to be in intelligent fellow, just keep an open mind.

I wish Trump would sign an executive order prohibiting James Carville from wearing any clothing with a LSU emblem. I realize picture was a post Katrina picture but whenever I see him on news media he wants to wear something LSU and then he expresses his liberal views including supporting Hillery..... all the while he teaches at Tulane?

Why? Just because he accepts the overwhelming scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change? In spite of what bought-and-paid-for whores of the fossil fuel industry such as the clown from Oklahoma who Trump appointed to head the EPA say, climate change is real and largely man-made. Deal with it
No. There are many first hand accounts of people trying to go up and talk to Bill and getting the a-hole star treatment from him. Same stories about Neil Degrasse Tyson. Shame really. You want these guys to be great people, but their fame has gone to their heads.

Agreed. That show went off the air in 98, preceding toonces.
Congrats OP for watching 15 year old educational videos and starting threads that can only become political diatribes lately on this board.

I 100% agree that it's healthy to keep an open mind and question scientific findings, even when there is an obvious consensus, as there is with climate change.
That said, how many times has the argument "I'm right and you're stupid" worked out for anyone? Does that typically encourage someone to put in a little personal research to challenge their own stance on something? I agree with the earlier notion that there are more adult ways to debate and far better methods of persuasion.
My research tells me there is, indeed, an overwhelming consensus that (1) climate change is real and (2) humans are a major factor in it, but the worst thing that could possibly have happened regarding the threat of climate change and the need to address it is that it got politicized. I'm conservative, and I'm christian, so within my own social circles I end up at odds with friends and family regarding this subject at times, but not because of the subject matter so much as the politics associated with it.
I'm not going to stop being libertarian because I acknowledge climate change, and I shouldn't have to argue about it mired in politics. I shouldn't have to argue about it at all-- Better to put a seed of curiosity in those that disagree with me while showing that I'm always willing to challenge my own opinion, so why not challenge yours? A better variety of ways to address it will only come after its existence and/or causes stop being a political issue.

Politicians created climate change, not man...
Or is that there are too many people in China & it is throwing the earth off of its normal orbital pattern?

Good to see someone intelligent repping LSU rather than idiots like Ken Hamm and the duck fricks.

Was the climate change during the reign of Bonaparte man made?
How about the Last Glacial period?
Climate change is real, no one can debate that...For every 100 scientist that say it's man made, there are just as many that say it's naturally occurring and part of the Earth's life cycle.

I don't think that's an LSU hat. Looks close to toonces but it looks a little off.
