The number of Climate Scientists that agree that global warming in part is human caused is in the high 90%. There will always be a few outliers. Should we discount known good science because some will believe in any conspiracy theory they hear?

In the scientific community this isn't a debate. They're way beyond that. They're now trying to better quantify how it will progress, not if it is happening.

Even so, it appears to me the core issue is not even being discussed. There are too many people consuming limited resources. Making everyone more resource conscious is laudable, but no matter how efficiently people use those resources more people = more resources used.

It used to be that one could go to someplace like New Guinea and experience virgin forests unsullied by mankind. Now those forests are turning into palm oil plantations. Plastics falling from the skies in the arctic. Floating garbage patches thousands of miles from any land in the middle of the ocean. Coral reefs dying. None of these alone equate to the end of life as we know it. Combined? If you have kids you should be very concerned. The world we're leaving for our grandchildren and great grandchildren will not be near as accommodating as the one we started with.

Yet we can't even get past something so simple as what is causing global warming.

The reality should be 100% because no climate scientist worth his salt would ever say there isn't an anthropogenic component to the present warming. The disagreement arises in its size and that of the overall effect of CO2 when compared to natural variability.

No one is claiming there aren't environmental issues to be resolved, but replacing one with another is hardly progress.
