Why is the science surrounding climate change ...?

Why is the science surrounding climate change ...one that attracts such childish name calling on both sides ... believe it or don't believe the science I don't mind either way ... I understand that what measures are brought in or not brought in may be political but why not leave the science sort itself out....could it be this time everyone of us (if you believe ) is to blame and thus there are no enemies but ourselves ?

For the record - I don't care if people believe or not or nothing is done as I don't have children . Not my problem although I do believe in the science.

Update:

Turtle- science and its peer based review system while not prefect by any means always accepts fact over fiction (sooner or later) and BTW you seem to have just made my point ... I see no facts to back up your statement...my belief on the other hand is an opinion based on what I have read. As I said I don't care if you accept the science or not your choice.

    science is base on the law of physics

    politics is base on the art of lying

    then people have the right to believe what is convenient for them

    what's the point of asking a question and then answering it by utilizing only reducing and pasting an internet link. one that is fairly political at that. you could't attack the right wing political agenda, and mutually prop up the left. You negate your credibility. that is why political climates that concentration on 2 opposing forces at the instantaneous are not something more beneficial than level shows. we are in a determined favor of human beings that're able to wondering for themselves. so some distance as remodeling into u . s .'s economic gadget the purely thanks to do that is to cap large companies which have a monopoly, and dis band the business giants which have offered American jobs foreign places. they're the real threats to the stabilization of the U. S. economic gadget. and seeing that of this we are no longer seeing the stepped ahead skill technologies, and that i'm no longer speaking about eco-friendly right here. those controlling companies that foyer for guidelines, that they understand smaller organizations can no longer meet have effectively eliminated the overall public of different skill resources. and they sleep with both the left and the right. economic crumple is eminent, provided we proceed to settle for the devaluation of the dollar and the systematic dismemberment of the hard work stress. after all hard work is the purely element backing the dollar.

    For the most part it is not science at all. It is quackery and pseudo-science used to support a political agenda.

    Of course Climate "Scientists" need to prove climate change is real or they will lose their raisin d'être and all their grant money.

    Recently a new scam was uncovered:

    The University of Colorado’s Sea Level Research Group decided in May to add 0.3 millimeters -- or about the thickness of a fingernail -- every year to its actual measurements of sea levels, sparking criticism from experts who called it an attempt to exaggerate the effects of global warming.

    There is not one single shred of proof that hman activity has any impact on climate change.

    My only concern is I hate people that lie to me. And as we prove that these organizations have been lying to us, telling stories that don't hold water or for every study they release......its shown to be inaccurate, full of lies or based on tainted data.

    Its always been a tell to people that the left wing are world renowned for shouting people down, calling names, lying and pushing an agenda (even when they have no proof).

    So obviously its a bit disconcerting when so called "experts" are proven to not be so 'expert', bought off with money, grants or politically influenced............and become such "children" when they are exposed as having no integrity.

    The problem is not that you "believe in the science" but that the "science" that you believe in is in fact just a theory and one that is almost entirely false.

    The people that argue against it are mostly embarrassing themselves and every other person with a brain. I don't even want to think about it.

    because one side hires scientists who are trying to prove it, the other side hires scientists who are trying to disprove it. It's the scientists who are on the front lines of this dispute

    How can you believe the science when it has been proven that the scientists are corrupt?!
