Of course, it’s impossible to discuss climate science findings without also being confronted with the endless repetitive cross-fire from the bullhorns of naysayers and their bias driven unidirectional skepticism and disconnected-from-physical-reality lies.
As a result the folks at SkepticalScience.com made a point of studying contrarian claims and then explaining the real science, that climate science “skeptics” consistently choose to ignore.
Republicans have a hubristic confidence in their own self-interest, and because they’ve convinced themselves that they possess God in their back pockets, it’s okay for them to disregard fundamental geophysical evidence and facts. It's lunatic thinking, still here we are.
The real tragedy is that nobody is interested in learning. They only know their personal wants and by their actions and words, they appear to lack intellectual integrity, how else could they so easily refuse to listen, let alone learn lessons, all the while shamelessly repeating the same juvenile nonsense over and over and over again.
What kind of nonsense you ask? Well, take a look,

- It warmed just as fast in 1860-1880 and 1910-1940
- Most of the last 10,000 years were warmer
- Humans survived past climate changes
- Heatwaves have happened before
- There's no correlation between CO2 and temperature
- It cooled mid-century
- CO2 lags temperature
- It warmed before 1940 when CO2 was low
- We didn't have global warming during the Industrial Revolution
- Soares finds lack of correlation between CO2 and temperature
- An exponential increase in CO2 will result in a linear increase in temperature
- It's the sun
- It's cosmic rays
- Solar Cycle Length proves its the sun
- The sun is getting hotter
- Water levels correlate with sunspots
- Solar cycles cause global warming
