All you are doing is proving that science is a process of discovering and understanding, to prove a previous model incorrect is as much a new discovery as finding something completely new.
So the science of climate change is definitely not settled then, as the vested interest groups would have us believe?
Global warming is fact. Extensive testing and data shows. The proper argument is lost on many and I'm surprised because it would be a handy weapon in the debate and that is how much is man's contribution. The current carbon ppm in the atmosphere is around 800ppm. There is evidence in geology that it has been as high as 2000ppm, and as low as 150ppm. We are transitioning from an ice age. It was only about 10 or 12 thousand years ago that the Black sea didn't exist (kind of did but it was much much smaller), but rising ocean levels from the receding caps caused the Mediterranean to bust through what is now the Bosphorous strait, possibly leading to many of the ancient flood stories do to evidence of human settlement under the sea and along the old shore line. Ice samples for example though are showing a correlation between an acceleration in ppm levels and the time since the industrial revolution.
In the past these levels were regulated by simple greenhouse mechanics, and deforestation could be just as much a culprit as the junk we are pumping up into the air. As the CO2 levels rise, then plants will start decreasing the size of and the number of their stomata. This will lead to more ground water and probably de-desertification in some areas, but the plants will transpire less which leads to less rainfall. Human influence has been hugely to blame already for this by mowing down forests on massive scales.
To put my own opinion on it, we've past the point of no return. Learning and scientific advancement was oppressed by the church for nearly 1000 years. Had it not interfered we would have set foot on the moon over 100 years earlier, Mars already terraformed, and we'd have moved on long from burning fossil fuels for energy well before overpopulation and stuffing the planet.
We and life as we know will perish, but the Earth will keep on spinning while a new range of plants of animals that relish the climate will happily live on.
The only real reason to believe (have faith in) climate change is a lie is that some old jewish mythology says that as long as there is man to inhabit the Earth then it will be fine.
