Many people disagree with the studies that show climate change, and disagree about the effect mankind is having on our planet. More than 17,000 scientists have stated that there there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Also, temperatures taken from satellites have not shown any warming in 23 years.
