On Climate Change

Here are the facts:


1. The effects of the presence of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere are indisputable. I could think of a dozen different ways to test for them myself, even how to isolate which gasses have greater and lesser effects and to what extent, but why would I? It's been done.

2. We've got a long history of data on percentages of these gasses on record including data taken directly on the atmosphere and testing air bubbles trapped in ancient ice cores. It's clear there has been a massive increase since the industrial revolution, and that's only logical since that's when we started burning fossil fuels en masse. Burning, chemically, is combining something with oxygen. Fossil fuels are carbon. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that burning carbon will result mainly in CO2, a known greenhouse gas.

3. We all know how little governments like to cooperate. Our government can't even cooperate with itself, so the weight of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and those points that they agree on (that climate change is happening and that our activities are the major cause of it) should not be underestimated. On top of that, governmental organizations such as the EPA as well as many NGOs all agree on these points as well. And they wouldn't do so without the data of scientists to support these findings.

Given these facts, can anyone tell me why on Earth we would see unprecedented agreement from NGO's, governmental organizations, and intergovernmental panels as well as tens of thousands of scientists perjuring themselves, sacrificing the values shared by all scientists of searching for the truth (and actually being in agreement about something, which is a rarity even in a room with a dozen scientists talking about ANYTHING besides this), all in order to fabricate a massive global warming hoax?

If this is indeed a conspiracy theory, it's orders of magnitude more complex and involved than the craziest conspiracy I've heard of to date. "They faked the moon landing," "there were two shooters," "9/11 was an inside job," all pale in comparison to the massive and cohesive effort required to get these tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of people with disparate interests to agree on this one point... and for what, exactly? Redistribution of the world's wealth? Please...
