Frankly, I don't understand why people resist so strongly the notion - backed now by even more evidence - that (1) global warming exists, and (2) human activity is responsible for most of it. I don't see what good is derived by saying that scientists, backed by more and more data, are wrong about this.

Simple: Because the theory doesnt stand up to even basic scientific practices.

When you're manufacturing data to insert into a model and then assuming the model is true, you're not being a scientist - you're being an idiot. If you or I had pulled that kind of garbage in Junior High biology our teachers would have (correctly) laughed at us and given us a big fat F.

Essentially what they are doing with this information is looking at a problem which states X+Y=Z. Z=global warming. X and Y are complete unknowns. If we assume X = human activity and Y = CO2, then we can say Z is caused by human activity.

Is this true? No - its pure bullshit.
