Why? Because I brought up the health aspect of the issue? I always do that when talking about "global warming" or CO2. Frankly I prefer the term "climate change," because that is something people can relate to. You can't deny the climate is changing.

Decades don't mean shit. ( see posts of BAD DATA) Three or four decades ago it was global COOLING that was the issue and some scientists were predicting another ice age by 2050.

Seems as though it happens when your arguments are refuted with facts that don't support your opinions. just sayin.

The alarmists prefer it too, its a nice broad term that allows for a lot of wiggle room.

I posted an article in response to the claim that global warming isn't real. DiD you read it? And I didn't bring up health concerns to evade anything. I was just adding that, even if it WAS a myth, there are still other very valid reasons to change our ways.

You didn't read the post you were responding to then. Try this:

There is enough evidence to reference as much as either of us wants. There is no clear answer.
You choose to believe that "evil mankind" is as fault. I choose to be open to other possibilities.
