However I see rarely see a basic understanding of the scientific here on ATS.
Unfortunately the earths ecology does not provide the instant gratification that we have become accustom to in modern times.
Is this the symptom of a larger disease???

let me say that if you don't do anything, you'll be steamrollered into submission shortly thereafter. political motivation is more inteesting to the
majority of people.
if you want to post about saturation, absorption spectral chances are you'll create one-post wonders. otoh, more specialized boards will not have
much reach. ATS has it, to a degree.
scientifically speaking, GW / GC can't be disproven, because any (undesireable) weather pattern will be attributed to it. experiments are by nature
precluded (duplicate Earth?) and computer models invariable rely on lots of 'parameters' and have a tendency to run into the available interval's
edges (stone cold or scorching hot).
scale matters, any and everything will 'have an effect', how much is the question. CO2 = evil is a simplification and a dangerous one at that.
since retyping/pasting old posts wastes space i'll link a few:
