Scientists studying climate have a huge incentive to "support" anthropomorphic global warming. Just like economists have a huge incentive to "support" central banking. If you want to stay on the gravy train, you have to follow the party line.
^^ Don't forget that global warming is a great vehicle for grabbing money and power. Al Gore is not trying to save the fucking planet, he's just stroking his ego and stuffing his pockets. The issue becomes fodder for pro-government propaganda and fucked up spending, e.g. Obama pitches $1B climate change 'resilience fund' | TheHill.
I want environmental resources to be conserved, but I don't want governments co-opting issues that are easy for people to support and using the support to continue growing the government and indoctrinating the populace.
If we do something and global warming is real, and we fail to fix it (either through inaction or misguided action), bad shit might happen.
