In the near term it doesn't really matter what the cause is. It is verifiable that the earth is getting warmer. Although local conditions are somewhat irrelevant, we haven't seen a hard freeze here since about 2000.

That said, the question becomes what can we do to counter it, or maybe just CAN we counter it? I don't have an answer to either of those questions. I do know that a lot of scientists (the vast majority of them) think that the CO2 (and methane) in the atmosphere is acting as an insulating blanket (and have devised experiments to verify it). We're also making progress on figuring out where most of those gases are coming from.

So.... We might disagree on what the cause is, but we should surely know by 2050 what it is with a lot more certainty. If we're both alive by that time, I'd love to sit down with you and buy you a beer to have some laughs about how stupid one of was way back in 2016.

I think this is s bit different. I happen to think the big fireball in the sky is most to blame. But who knows, science changes the answers to meet the data so maybe I will be deemed correct one day. I just love that Leonard Nemoy ice age special years ago. Now it is heat. But, if this is global warming I'll take it. We are way above or rain totals normally. Oh yes, it is change not warming, that way no matter what happens we were right. It doesn't matter anyway because the Nords have solved it by turning carbon monoxide into rock.
