People just like to fool themselves into believing it is not happening. Maybe out of fear, or inertia, or possibly petty greed.
But it is happening, no doubt about that. Now either we can all work together as a species to do something about it, or continue with our business as usual. Our choice, really.

I wish I didn't live in an age where so many big choices had to be made, but on the other hand, the majority of people historically have not had any choices. Between the mind-forged manicals of religion, and the authoritarian rule of kings and slavers etc.

That stupid lie again? Last one I saw with this nonsense said that people who ONLY watch Fox News were less informed. What is you leftists boner with the one news channel that gets a small percentage of the news watching public that happens to be conservative. Oh wait, I know the answer. You want to shut upeverybody who doesn't parrot your lies and pablum.

Computer models extrapolate future data points based upon a mathematical function and historic data points. Extrapolation is inherently error prone. Computer models are also some of the easiest "methods" to falsify; don't like where the model is going, change a variable or two or slightly adjust how the data is used until the model morphs to support your thesis.
If computer models were any good at reliably predicting the future, there would be a whole bunch of very wealthy computer scientists playing the stock market.

Sorry, I should have said "needed by most workers" rather than "required". The point was that people in those professions have more college.

There are a bunch of wealthy computer gurus making millions on the stock market. They automatically do the trading for wealthy investors. The stock market has more unpredictable variables than the climate. They are not mathematical problems, and there is no force or law of nature behind them. There is marketing, supply and demand, the whim of a given population, the economic strength of different classes within a society, new innovations that haven't been accounted for, etc.

Looking things over, I've noticed some people are arguing that climate change in and of itself is a lie. Let's get one thing straight, there is no debate within the scientific community, government institutions, or even industrial institutions on whether or not climate change is occuring. It is. The debate has shifted to whether or not it is a man-made event, out of greed and corporate interest. We are no longer questioning the validity of climate change, unless you're a fringe nut who's still chewing yesterdays cud, you understand this.

How do you discredit a model that is predicting years into the future? By the time we catch up with the predictions, if they are wrong, well, there is now a newer, more accurate model to take the place of the old one. 
Take global warming out of it; computer models that predict future events extrapolate and extrapolation is very error prone.

It's obvious you are a scientist. I wanted to go into science but seeing how disingenuous many scientists are behaving regarding the manmade global warming con, I opted out of that career. I couldn't bear to be associated with people who had clearly put an agenda before objective scientific investigation.
Please tell me, how do you cope with the seeing how the good name of science is being perverted by these charlatans?
