That kind of thinking is what leads to crusades, animosity, and ultimately the persecution of skeptics, free thinkers, and being able to adapt. It's extremely close minded and unbecoming of all humans. Quite frankly it just makes you look ignorant and biased as fuck.
That sounds all well and good, except it is utter bullshit. We are talking about observations and fact. You can argue and debate on if you think humans are the main cause or not but it is silly to argue over the observable facts. The sea level is raising, humans put a lot of carbon dioxide in the air, there is more of it in the air now than before, carbon dioxide is a green house gas that can trap heat, the earth is getting warm, land ice is melting all over are all facts.

If I use a ruler and I measure a piece of wood thirty times and find that the length of the wood is around 5 inches and someone comes by and says it is really 15 feet long, it isn't closed minded to say they are wrong. Nor is it religious like or dogmatic to say that the wood is 5 inches long because you measured it multiple times and that is what it is. But you know what? You are a not 100% sure, maybe your ruler is incorrectly marked. So you use 6 more rulers of different make and model and have seven friends all try to measure the wood. And everyone agrees and find it is 5 inches. Yet that one other guy still goes, "Well you are all wrong it is 15 feet."

Then you ask them what that idea is based on and they give some illogical reason that makes no sense. That is pretty much how this debate goes. We have all this data that clearly says something, and some people just ignore the data because they have their own opinion.

Now if you want to say no one can ever know anything in this world, and that we could be imagining everything or stuff like that, that is philosophy not science and it would be silly to deny global warming based off the philosophical idea that a person can never know anything because there is a possibility they are just a brain hooked up to a simulator.
