1. ummm,

there IS concrete evidence that global warming really IS real.

It is only in the US where this is put into doubt by people who are paid for by the fossil fuel industry.

2. Well, I don't think there is much doubt about global warming being real...

The only argument is whether or not said warming is the result of humans.

Of course, when dealing with the simplistic anti-scientific types that tend to gravitate toward the right wingers, the translation is "global warming is nonsense" instead of making a distinction in what is the cause of the warming.

But the bottom line is that global warming were ever universally accepted as a fact, they would likely spend inordinate amounts of time trying to explain why global warming is actually a good thing.

Health Benefits of Global Warming

Although satellite data over the past 25 years show no trend toward increasing global temperatures, Americans would benefit from improved health and quality of life if the earth's climate were to warm moderately over the next few decades. Based on an analysis of data on mortality, illness and wage rates:

11. There's already such evidence.

No one in the field who's not on the oil industry payroll denies that it exists, or that it's being caused significantly by human activity. The only debate among serious scholars is over the rate at which it is occuring.
