Global warming is an observable scientific fact held as consensus by all reputable scientists. The only scientists that openly deny global warming are funded directly by oil cartels, or other multinational corporations.
It's something that has been measured and recorded over the past 50 years. So now, even the scientists who have been bought out by big business to protect their assets have moved the goal posts: now the "debate" is whether or not global warming is human-caused.
It's analogous to tobacco companies arguing that cigarettes don't cause cancer. Everyone knows cigarettes are bad for you. People who abused tobacco were known as "niccotine fiends" well before the turn of the century, and cigarettes have been called "coffin nails" since the late 1800's.
It was never a debate until some idiot with money to be made and a sob story to tell took it to Sacramento, and started spreading lies and disinformation that it became a "debate" about the "possible health effects of smoking."
Global warming caused by greenhouse gasses is one of the most basic things you learn in a remedial biology class. Burning fossil fuels, as it turns out, produces a shitload of greenhouse gases. Doesn't take a genius to figure this one out.
