I wonder how much money these "scientists" got from the Hillary fund to come up with these "facts".
I was going to add a line in for the more clear-minded revealing that I'm trolling, but it's just too hard. It doesn't get any more serious than this. I don't even know if I want to have kids anymore because I know this is what they're going to have to deal with. But of course, people will continue thinking this is a mass conspiracy because Al Gore flew on a jet.
EDIT: I'm going to add all rebuttals here. Perhaps we will see a trend.
Rebuttal 1: Scientists are sometimes wrong about the weather, therefore don't believe anything they say.
Rebuttal 2: The world obviously isn't going to end, so pay no attention to environmental studies.
Rebuttal 3: Bird flu, Ebola, et al. didn't end the world like the tabloids said, so don't worry about environmental research.
Rebuttal 4: Science will progress a lot in 100 years, so relax.
Rebuttal 5: Climate change doesn't matter because rising sea-levels are the only problem and we can solve that by moving uphill.
Rebuttal 6: OP doesn't do everything he can to stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere, therefore his whole argument is wrong.

In the 1980's, scientists predicted that if carbon emissions did not lessen drastically in order to fix the hole in the ozone, there would be a new ice age by the 2030s (they had said within 50 years). They asserted this with 100% certainty. The hottest weather on record, according to climate scientists who compare actual written records from history with tree-ring studies to corroborate the evidence was in the 11th century. There is evidence to suggest that earth's climate is significantly affected by solar activity. Solar flare activity has been more active in recent years than previously observed on average, which may indicate that this solar activity may, in part, be causing global warming/climate change symptoms. The green industry is a multi-billion dollar industry led by businessmen just like the oil companies. There is no reason to think that one industry is more good or evil than the other. Each industry will leverage whatever it can for maximum profit. So like I said, I'm not trying to say that climate change isn't real, but I'm humbly suggesting that when a politician cites a politically funded study in order to get people to behave a certain way that supports their interests, or to try and generate income, do not blindly believe everything they say and to research the facts yourself. When putting effort and resources into taking care of the environment and our planet, they should be directed toward the places that will make the most positive and real difference.
