Newsflash. I don't read with my ears. You might even say they are blind. I suggest you quit using your ears to read, as your reading comprehension is low.
Fer instance, your source says:
"Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities."
What I was saying was:
"...there are a bunch of competing theories that attempt to explain various components of the overall explanation of what our climate has done in the past. Last I heard, there was no concensus yet."
Those two things are not the same.
To simplify that for you, what I was saying is that we/they/you do not have a complete understanding of what has caused the variations in our climate over the past 4.5 billion years. We know that the climate has cooled at times and has warmed at other times. There are many theories as to why this is so. What is lacking is a single narrative as to precisely what happened and why. The greenhouse effect is just one of many theories that help to explain a part of it.
My point was that we don't understand everything there is to know about climate change. We do seem to be shouting a lot about one aspect of it. I don't think that we can predict precisely what will happen in the future of we don't fully understand the past, yet.
We like to think we know everything. Looking back, we've been wrong many times. I'm willing to go out on a limb and acknowledge that the world is round, and not flat. That seems to be safe at this point. Whether I believe all of the gloom and doom about the climate is still up in the air.
