The effects of greenhouse gases
Check out this link (it may not say what you expect). To say that "scientific facts" are all over the map would be an understatement. Maybe the competing factions should just duel it out and leave the rest of us alone.

The effects of greenhouse gases
The way we fund science is a disgrace. Most money goes towards crisis science, therefore it pays scientists to promote every theory as a crisis. Then scientists are castigated if they have a theory that doesn't pan out, creating incentive to manipulate data to prove their theories correct. It seems there should be as much value placed in knowing what is false as there is in knowing what is true.

KW; I'm all for scientific research that deals with helping to solve disease, hunger, and other current problems. It just seems such a waste of time, talent, and money to pay these folks to speculate on what the world will be like in six million years.

Can't argue with that

The effects of greenhouse gases
Given all the natural sources of greenhouse gases on planet earth one has to wonder if they should be classified as pollutants at all. A good volcanic eruption can pump out more greenhouse gases than the entire industrialized world. But for political reasons only greenhouse gases caused by humans and bovines are bad. Yeah, that makes sense.
I don't advocate for real pollutants though, it's the fake ones I have a problem with.

Many of the predictions are based on modeling programs that cannot tell me if it is going to snow two weeks from now and even have a hard time predicting if an entire season is going to be severe or light from a weather standpoint.

It's funny you say that. I commented to a friend of mine, who is generally very intelligent, that it's ridiculous to believe that scientists can predict what weather will be like in 100 years when they can't predict what it will be like a week from now.
His comment: "It's a lot easier to extrapolate long term trends than short term trends.".
My response: "That's only because there's no accountability 100 years from now, since all of today's scientists will be dead."
