consequently millennials are more likely to believe in AGW than any other generation, I wonder why that is?)

I don't care about Oil and Gas profits, but it is completely obvious to me that this entire climate change issue is going to be used by the globalists to enslave the world population and create a central authority that supersedes sovereignty. I find that much more frightening than some rich a-hole losing some beachfront property.

You will likely be slammed for posting that Global Warming is a Hoax (and rightly so). but more to the point, you should be slammed for posting an article from Natural News, written by Mike Adams who is a raging conspiracy nutbag and in no way a climate scientist of any kind. I may even agree with some of the things he is skeptical about, but as a source... come on, you can do infinitely better.
I am a 'raging conspiracy nutbag' too, so I really like Mike Adams. I would venture you will find a few of us 'nutbags' on ATS.

Many experts would argue that what we teach elementary school students about global warming is not science, but propaganda...
My niece thinks that polar bears are going extinct, and that's from this school year. The videos they have them watch imply that even though it isn't true. She literally believes we are going to burn ourselves to death, and I quote her exactly, "before I am old enough to get a job"...
Polar bears are in serious danger of going extinct due to global warming. The bears were the first vertebrate species to be listed by the U.S. Endangered Species Act as threatened by extinction primarily because of global warming. This listing happened in 2008 because of the ongoing loss of critical habitat for polar bears, the arctic sea ice on which they live and depend to hunt their almost exclusive prey, seals.
Rising temperatures in the world’s oceans are causing sea ice to disappear for longer and longer periods during the late summer, leaving polar bears insufficient time to hunt. This is a worldwide problem, and the Endangered Species Act has listed polar bears as threatened everywhere in the world they occur. Polar bears can only survive in areas where the oceans freeze, allowing them to hunt seals living under, on, or in the frozen polar ice cap.
Seriously? What kind of fear mongering is going on in these schools?

Teacher: You are going to burn because your parents are destroying the world
8 year old: WHAAAATTT???
Teacher: Now do this math where you draw symbols to represent numbers that you then count and turn into other symbols to turn back into numbers.

ok but the predictions of these scientists are merely opinions. Predictions are not always correct. BTW - they are frequently wrong.

The Myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Scientific Consensus

Abstract
Climate science as we know it today did not exist in the 1960s and 1970s. The integrated enterprise embodied in the Nobel Prizewinning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change existed then as separate threads of research pursued by isolated groups of scientists. Atmospheric chemists and modelers grappled with the measurement of changes in carbon dioxide and atmospheric gases, and the changes in climate that might result. Meanwhile, geologists and paleoclimate researchers tried to understand when Earth slipped into and out of ice ages, and why. An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling” and an “imminent” ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests.

And we need to do something before the concentration gets to a level that will cause temperatures to raise so much it will kill all plant and animal life on this planet.

What are you trying to tell me here? That source confirms what I was saying. I'm not the one who was talking about Global Cooling. Bodicea was.

See. That's par the course of my reasoning.

That's up to you. I don't know what that is. But I wouldn't buy his BS, that's for sure.

Accurate today? Ha! Okay. But do note many climate scientists are saying that we have entered the Maunder Minimum again and that the climate is now cooling. And, no, I won't provide sources.... if you think you can prove me wrong -- that there are no scientists currently claiming global cooling -- go for it. Just please note that I am not in any way, shape or form trying to confirm or deny their claims, just stating that there are such scientists making such claims.
