Scientists debate everything, but when the basics are settled, they are settled. There are a lot of unknowns about climate science, but the basics are settled. Humans are largely causing climate change at this time, and carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels is the main cause.

Nobody is suppressing anything. What is happening is that there are oil companies who are getting rich and they want to maintain the status quo. And they are following a tried and true method virtually identical to what the tobacco companies did - they seed FUD and they say we need to study it more before we conclude that we need to stop soiling the only planet we all depend on for our lives.

You can refuse to accept the science, but that doesn't change reality. Do you understand how gravity works? Do you understand how the climate works? Do you understand how DNA works? No?

The scientists who study these do know much more then we all do, and science is the best understanding we have of reality.

Anthropogenic climate change is reality.
