I don’t have all the answers. That is why I post material for debate and to get educated. I have trouble with so many prominent scientists who were once believers but are now skeptics like the ones of this short listed below. Can they all be wrong?

There is also a problem with the oceans. They are not warming, as they should which is the best sign of global warming. The oceans hold more heat than the atmosphere and they a cooling giving scientist more mysteries to solve.

I am just trying to sort it all out. You can have the high ground , I could care less.
