No...the same scientists ...it is a strategic ladder of denial.
1.CO2 is not actually increasing.
2.Even if it is, the increase has no impact on the climate since there is no convincing evidence of warming.
3.Even if there is warming, it is due to natural causes.
4.Even if the warming cannot be explained by natural causes, the human impact is small, and the impact of continued greenhouse gas emissions will be minor.
5.Even if the current and future projected human effects on Earth's climate are not negligible, the changes are generally going to be good for us.
6.Whether or not the changes are going to be good for us, humans are very adept at adapting to changes; besides, it’s too late to do anything about it , and/or a technological fix is bound to come along when we really need it.

Want me to show you where you pretend scientists and orgs were claiming nothing was happening???
Science's reason for existing is to help better understand the universe around us by testing hypotheses and discarding the ones that are found to be wanting and leaving the ones that hold up to testing.
Because you aren't thinking hard enough.

How did this get 60 flags?
5 year old story and an OP that refused to answer the questions on why it needed to be rehashed.
Funny that people are willing to take one mans word when it benefits them but when the majority of scientist say something its all bs and money fueled.

Sure do have something to say.
The Global warming science is settled which is the EXACT opposite of what global warming defenders keep saying.
That's what they call trying to have it both ways.

How is telling humans that they are contributing to screwing up nature on the planet supposed to lead someone to a false sense of security?

Because it gives them control.
"Oh, it's our fault. If we just clean up our act soon everything will be fine".
When in reality it's truly out of our hands.
I'm not denying that global warming is occurring, but there is a deceptive emphasis placed on this one particular aspect to this epidemic, rather than climate change as a whole. Yes, we're contributing. But even if we cut all Co2 emissions today, it would simply delay the inevitable.
This is oh-so-speculative because we have never seen such high atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases in all of human history. The last time such high concentrations existed was during the Pliocene Epoch, some 3 million years ago. Temperatures were then about 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they are today and, in part because there was no Arctic ice cap, sea levels were somewhere between 33 and 131 feet higher than at present.
Even if we take major steps now, concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases will continue to increase for more than a century. We are literally running an unprecedented experiment on the planet with few data points to suggest how it will all turn out.
Basic physics, however, tells us that warming will follow increases in the concentration of greenhouse gases. Even if the catastrophe scenarios of double-digit warming don't play out, we're not necessarily out of the woods. The most likely spread of future warming according to the IPCC, about 3 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit, could have catastrophic impacts as well.

Thats because any time they want to end the argument the retort is always "The Science is Settled"
The typical reaction from the agenda pushers is to stop any debate......
