I don't feel you're qualified to make that kind of assessment.

We're in a state of warming. Man-made compounds have permeated our atmosphere and environment to the point that they're finding levels of toxicity in the livers of polar bears - the carnivores arguably most distant to human settlements on the planet - to the extent that they negatively affect the bears' ability to reproduce.

Meanwhile, data gathered from other models in our solar system (i.e. Venus - where lead melts on the surface partially due to ambient atmospheric heat), strongly suggest that large amounts of atmospheric CO2 gas result in the trapping of heat energy within the confines of a planetary atmosphere (i.e. "the greenhouse affect")

The human population releases countless metric tons of CO2 gas into the Earth's atmosphere every year.

Those are facts. Make of them what you will.


Let us not forget that the most successful snake oil salesmen sold snake oil as a remedy for problems that people actually had. Just because the offered cures might smell a little bit fishy doesn't mean there isn't an actual problem.

Maybe we're causing it... maybe we aren't... but, imho... with 99%+ of the peer-reviewed scientific community offering that it's at least feasible that we're partially responsible for the accelerated climate change on this planet, I think that you might be a little off (not to mention, perhaps a bit full of yourself) in offering that "Global warming produced by humans is not real at any level."
