global warming, but that doesn't mean I think either theory is true.

I ask people who say "Global warming is real because they have a scientific consensus on it," was there not a scientific consensus on eugenics, a theory that led to the death of tens of millions of people? Was there not a scientific consensus that the Sun revolved around the Earth? The list goes on and on about times when there was a scientific consensus on ideas that ended up being wrong.

There was no scientific consensus on eugenics, unless I'm completely ignorant of it, at least not to the level of that of global warming.

It is ridiculous to compare scientific thought of today to that of thousands of years ago.  They didn't have the technology back then to get accurate measurements and data that is needed for the scientific method way back then.

Can you elaborate on why you don't believe in global warming?  I'm always curious about why skeptics are so unwilling to accept it...
Since you're not a Republican, it's presumably not because [insert Republican politician] says it's not real, so why is it exactly?

I watching the Great Global Warming Swindle, which presented many legitimate arguments against global warming. I find it to be implausible, given the historical record, that CO2 is the major cause of global warming. Also, I find not only the theory to be wrong, but the entire premise that socialism is justifiable because of it.

If the theory was true and if we're all going to die in a short while if nothing is done, don't you think it would kind of be preferable not to all die?

Just like all the humans died during the ice age?
And just like all the humans died during the medieval warm period?
