I’m seeing the same thing in this thread, that I see in nearly every online discussion of this topic: Lots of heat, and precious little light. I’m beginning to think it’s a subject people shouldn’t discuss in polite company, like religion and politics. ;)

I say, do your own research, and come to your own conclusions. This means you should have full access to the pertinent data, which has not always been the case.

For instance, did you know the ocean is not warming up at all? The Argo system of 3000 floating sensors shows no warming since 2003, when the sensors were deployed. Seems like kind of an important indicator, to me. The ocean has far more influence on global temps, than any other factor.

I’m a lawyer, not a scientist, but I do know how to conduct research, and I do understand the scientific method. I also understand the use of propaganda, which is a major impediment to self-education on this and other politicized topics.
