I also accept the following and I have not read anything fron the scientific community disputing what you cited here:
Quote:

Global atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased markedly as a result of human activities since 1750 and now far exceed pre-industrial values determined from ice cores spanning many thousands of years. The global increases in carbon dioxide concentration are due primarily to fossil fuel use and land-use change, while those of methane and nitrous oxide are primarily due to agriculture.

The issues in question in my mind are based on the questions that logically follow the above points. And that is what I find confusing relative to "consensus" and wonder why the follow-up questions are met with such disdain. I personally think the answers to these questions will dramtically shape our future and need to be looked at with the highest degree of scrutiny. Do you think all these questions are"settled", as you stated at one point?
