Among the PH.D's of the world there is no debate. Global Warming is accelerating daily.
The debate is over. Conservatives paid by the Koch brothers and others are doing their best to keep the 'hoax' lie going but it is failing.
The United States military is preparing for the effects of Global Warming. You know, because its real.
If the debate is over, we wouldn't be on this thread having a discussion. By the very fact that you feel the need to try and shut down the discussion, you are conceding to the existence of the debate. Because if everyone agrees, no one would be discussing it and you wouldn't have to silence opposition.
Btw absense of debate doesn't mean something is true. For centuries there was no debate on the world being flat. Everyone just knew it was. For centuries there was no debate on whether the earth was the center of the universe. Everyone knew it was. Popularity and consensus is not science. Nor does it make truth.
Truth and science aren't dependent on consensus or popularity. Truth is just things are they are, as they were, and as they will be.
And even ignoring the reality that countless people with PhDs disagreement with global warming, pointing to PhDs isn't a gauge of truth. PhDs are often wrong. Particularly in the sciences where people are constantly learning more, experimenting more, and reevaluating based on new evidence, people are wrong.
And there is nothing wrong with being wrong. Every single human being who has ever lived with the exception of one is wrong again and again. We learn by being wrong.
It's only when we pretend we are never wrong and don't use our mistakes to learn that we have problems.
No the debate is far from over. Attempting to end it won't be productive.
