Articles like that exist all over the web, that was the first one I happened to choose. If you're simply going to ignore the actual factual content then you are part of the problem. The 97% claim was clearly meant to shock, and the way the number was reached was bogus. You can bet most people never looked beyond the 97% consensus number and just parroted it back to their friends without actually looking deeper.

I first got interested in climate change after watching "An Inconvenient Truth" with my girlfriend, it was her homework assignment years ago. Honestly I hadn't payed much attention to any of the science beforehand and after watching that movie it had me a bit alarmed. However I never take anything at face value without digging a bit deeper, and eventually realized that most of it was propoganda. The more I researched and dug, the more of a skeptic I became.

All I'm saying is that every person should explore both sides of the argument and come to their own conclusion and not "pick a side" and dismiss everything else.

Its fucking 55 in El Salvador when it get really hot (131 F).

Given that El Salvador is right next to a giant body of water, I'm calling bullshit on this claim. Let's see what 2 minutes of Googling turns up...

Oh look, you're full of shit once again.

In April and May temperatures may reach 32 °C (89.6 °F). The highest reading ever recorded was 38.5 °C (101.3 °F), the lowest was 8.2 °C (46.8 °F). The highest dew point was 27 °C (81 °F) and the lowest −10 °C (14 °F).

55 is not even close to the actual highest temp ever recorded (38.5). Are you a habitual idiot or is this something you're working towards?

In case anyone is concerned that all the extra CO2 in the atmosphere will soon turn the earth into an uninhabitable hellscape of 200+ degree days, keep in mind that as things warm up, more clouds form, reflecting sunlight and cooling things off. It's why Miami has never had a day over 100 degrees in recorded history (and only one day at 100).

Theres no side to pick, im not going try to research the side of people who claim that the earth is flat, either

Well ill give you that this 55 numbers was taken from friends of my mom who live there, not something i verified thoughroughly. Most likely they were talking with humidex on top of it and now that ive checked it, probably a good story they were trying to weave that they exagerrated.

What they were saying though, is that they cant really deal with even a little more of heat because it gets so hot already you need to stay in the shade during parts of the day.

So you're basically admitting that you aren't going to bother searching for the actual truth, but will just stick with what you've decided is truth regardless if it is or not.

Also your "world is flat" analogy is ironic. It was the skeptics that suggested the world was in fact not flat while the "consensus" held firmly that it was. We all know who won that argument.

Lol exagerrated.

Right but to make an analogy

"Oh forest fires occur naturally, so who cares if i throw my cigarettes butts all over the place when i go camping?"

Forest fires are actually pretty beneficial, and are occasionally done intentionally. Sometimes a reset is a good thing.
