How much money is there in denying AGW? How many Big Businesses, oil companies, Big Industry, etc.?
Yeah, vested interests and all that.

The total spending on obstructive climate policy lobbying by the representative selection of fossil fuel industry entities we assessed amounts to almost $115 million annually. This represents the direct spending on climate obstruction by ExxonMobil ($27m), Shell ($22m), the American Petroleum Institute (API) ($65m) and $9m by two smaller trade associations - the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) in the US and the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) in Australia. In the absence of specific disclosure from the companies on the amounts they pay trade associations, we roughly estimate that Shell and ExxonMobil contribute almost $10m between them to the above three trade associations' obstructive lobbying spending.

When we tried to reproduce their model of the lunar and solar influence on the climate, we found that the model only simulated their temperature data reasonably accurately for the 4,000-year period they considered. However, for the 6,000 years’ worth of earlier data they threw out, their model couldn’t reproduce the temperature changes. The authors argued that their model could be used to forecast future climate changes, but there’s no reason to trust a model forecast if it can’t accurately reproduce the past.

Empirical evidence that humans are causing global warming

It is actually really not difficult to understand; the crap we are spewing into our atmosphere cannot leave the earth's atmosphere because of conditions inherent (like gravity).
Not really rocket science.
And you are a rocket scientist or Chemist or Physicist? THE THEORY has failed to predict, period , exclamation point!
As Lincoln so eloquently stated, "you can fool some of the people most of the time and most of the people some of the time"
I would add and a few every time will believe any BS if the people bringing it make you feel good about it and there are others that never fall for it.... Which of the 4 choices you are decides a lot about your beliefs.

So your "professional" opinion is based upon the idea that you have a PHD in environmental science but you have no apparent idea how such a background relates to chemistry and
