Unfortunately, the scientific community is not objective as they should be. Know who paid for a study, know who is paying a scientists paycheck and you can make an educated guess on which way the conclusions will fall out.
One big telltale about the increase in our planets mean temp is the fact that the oceans mean temp, the biggest Earth heat sink going, has risen 1 degree. This is measurable. Coral reefs are dying from the increase in temp. From Florida to the great barrier reef, all are at hazard. This is the bottom of the worlds food chain with issues. One cannot look at year to year fluxuations, its the longer spans of time that show trends.
500 years from now, Earth's crude oil will be depleted. Oil is the basis for so many modern day materials that to burn it in cars is insane behavior. As oil disappears all things will cost more, food and materials alike. Rudolph Diesel invented the diesel combustion engine to run on peanut oil, PEANUT OIL! Cannot get anymore renewable than that. Yet...................... Rudolph Diesel boarded a boat, I forget to where, he never got off that boat, he disappeared while on the water, never to be seen again.
Henry Fords wife drove an electric car. Imagine where battery tech would be now if we did not discover crude oil or had it forced on us by the few who reap the profits.
Now mistakes happen, we learn, we grow, we progress, hopefully. But once the obvious has been pointed out, those mistakes should not be allowed to perpetuate further. Whats the definition of insanity...............doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result..............
Right now our culture is about making billionaires, not everyone can be a billionaire. Why do peeps need more money than there are people on the planet?
Why do we consistently allow the ships captain to guzzle moonshine, whilest at the helm, at low tide, in reef infested waters?
Its beyond me.
