I tend to trust science. When 97% of scientific studies are pointing to one side of the argument, it is usually found to be true. But some will always cling to the few differing pieces of evidence if it suits their personal beliefs.
I'm unsure of which scientific studies you are referring. One thing for sure though, all credible scientists agree that studies indicate that the world's climate is always in a state of flux. Secondly, the same group of scientists agree Beijing, Mexico City and New Delhi suffer from severe air pollution. Beyond these two agreement areas, politics and funding steer findings whether NASA, Greenpeace or NOAA - this is a fact.
During the Pliocene era (3.3 million years ago) the sea levels were about 25 meters higher than today with northern temperatures about 3 degrees C higher than today. Florida was very small with no voter fraud possible. Then came the Pleistocene, plunging the north and south extreme latitudes into a severe deep freeze. This deep freeze ended 15,000 to 30,000 years ago with the onset of global warming. The mile deep glacier over Chicago finally melted about 20,000 years ago as global warming intensified.
A noted friend (PhD in Glacial Geology) of mine points to studies finding that global warming will continue for about another 100,000 years. This will mean two things. First, lots of grant money will continue flowing greatly assisting his heirs ongoing inherited business and secondly, waterfront development will move inland.
