If you want to know the facts: No scientific body of national or 
international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of 
these conclusions:

• "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, 
many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia".

• "Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous 
oxide have increased to levels unprecedented in at least the last 
800,000 years".

• Human influence on the climate system is clear. It is extremely likely 
(95-100% probability) that human influence was the dominant cause of 
global warming between 1951-2010.

• "Increasing magnitudes of [global] warming increase the likelihood of 
severe, pervasive, and irreversible impacts"

• "A first step towards adaptation to future climate change is reducing 
vulnerability and exposure to present climate variability"

• "The overall risks of climate change impacts can be reduced by 
limiting the rate and magnitude of climate change"

• Without new policies to mitigate climate change, projections suggest 
an increase in global mean temperature in 2100 of 3.7 to 4.8 °C, 
relative to pre-industrial levels (median values; the range is 2.5 to 
7.8 °C including climate uncertainty).

• The current trajectory of global greenhouse gas emissions is not 
consistent with limiting global warming to below 1.5 or 2 °C, relative 
to pre-industrial levels. Pledges made as part of the Cancún Agreements 
are broadly consistent with cost-effective scenarios that give a 
"likely" chance (66-100% probability) of limiting global warming (in 
2100) to below 3 °C, relative to pre-industrial levels.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
