Climate change and human interference in climate is one of the most politically driven areas of science out there. Once upon a time, I waded into it to try and understand what the "science" was/is. You simply cannot take anything with an opinion on it at face value and almost always have to look at who is funding whom. |
I'm thinking, we've had "global warming" since the Ice Age, and Greenland actually lush and green (and icy again) since then, all without human intervention. But we've done so much changing the landscape and putting particulate in the air (not as much as volcanoes but still), it has to have an effect, it's debatable how much. I could be looking at this wrong....
