This statement is “missing” in the “debate” about listening to all sides.
Are those who want us to listen to all “sides” on climate change willing to listen to flat earth “theories”? Or cube earth “theories”.
I doubt it. It has been well established that the earth is “round”: round as the irregularities of its surface permit. And it has been well-established the earth is warming because of human activity.
If fossil fuels are being pulled out of the ground and not replaced, wouldn’t it stand to reason that more carbon dioxide is being put into the atmosphere? If carbon dioxide is a heat-trapping gas, wouldn’t it stand to reason that more carbon dioxide would warm the earth?
The only counter to this trend would be a substantial increase in the number of plants taking in oxygen. If anything, we are reducing the amount of space for plants with more and more freeways, parking lots, and buildings.

Simple reason for global warming
For millennia humans burned wood for cooking and heat. As long as there were a large number of trees, trees absorbed the CO2 from the fires and created new trees.
Then humans pulled coal and oil from beneath the ground and burned it. The rate of CO2 being put into the atmosphere increased dramatically. Furthermore, because trees all over the world were being cut down faster than they could be replaced, the absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere decreased. The increase in atmospheric CO2 traps more heat and thus warms the Earth overall.
Those who deny the human effect on global warming must believe that 1+1-1 equals 3!
