What would it take for the man-made climate change skeptics to agree that we are impacting our climate?

I always see you folks write that the data is not there yet to support the contention that we are impacting our climate by releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases. There really is loads of data to support that and the vast majority of climate scientists have conmcluded so.

What would it take for the skeptics/ deniers to finally accept this data?

    the denial is amazing, isn't it?! reading some of the answers here...like: "try working in the private sector" what does that have to do with your question???

    oh, and "the scientists grants come from government, that's why they side with them"...uh, what about the lobbyists from companies producing these gases...don't you think they have enough pull to have the government pass on the message to NOT promote climate change?

    I especially like "why don't you use REAL science to back this up, not some liberal quacks" yeah, unfortunately that argument is never followed up with a source.

    i'm guessing it will take another visit from their imaginary friend to get them to understand that we have an impact on the climate that STILL can't accurately be measured up against anything.

    Simply explain why all of the gases that are blamed for "global warming" do not simply rise out of our atmosphere.

    Explain why the heat allegedly trapped around our planet does not simply dissipate into space.

    Explain how cow farts are suddenly a danger.

    Explain how requiring 10% of the world's population to alter their lives while allowing the other 90% to continue as they are going will affect the climate.

    Explain why more than 700 scientists agree that there is no such thing as human caused climate change and the current changes are part of a normal cycle.

    Explain why those screaming the loudest about "global warming" stand to make the most money from "solutions" they propose.

    First off, in terms of "massive amounts" - they're not massive in relation to the atmosphere. The proportion of the atmosphere that is CO2 today that wasn't CO2 when Thomas Jefferson took the Oath of Office is 1/10,000th.

    Second, the temperatures have returned to normal. The June anomaly from the 1979-1998 trend line was zero. ZERO.

    It would be funny if you were not so serious, you pretend to understand the opposing viewpoint when you do not even know what yours is. If you actually look into what your people say, they come to the same conclusion that the other side does. Even if people were to disappear from the planet today, it would have no affect on the current climatic change.

    Climate scientists have a vested interest in siding with the government. Where do you think their grants come from?

    according to the experts only 3% of the carbon dioxide put into

    the atmosphere is anthropogenic, and co2 is a fraction of 1% of our

    atmosphere, so it's really scare tactics and a power/money grab!!!

    Some real science. Pretty simple, huh?

    Maybe you should get a job in the private sector and take your mind off of this.

    Your talking about downsizing Oil profits and funds for the Republican party. Of course these guys will fight it all the way, until their skin starts burning and they catch on fire.
