That link claims 97% of climate scientists agree that man is the cause. Should we accept that literally? Do you (or anybody else for that matter) believe global warming is 100% man made? Are you ruling out natural causes completely? If not you have to agree that your link is misleading at best.

Anything else? . . .
Let me say something about this idea of scientific consensus. Well, you really shouldn't go by numbers. I think it's significant to straighten out misconceptions. One misconception is that 2,500 IPCC scientists agree that global warming is coming, and it's going to be two degrees Centigrade by the year 2100. That's just not so. In the first place, if you count the names in the IPCC report, it's less than 2,000. If you count the number of climate scientists, it's about 100. If you then ask how many of them agree, the answer is: You can't tell because there was never a poll taken. These scientists actually worked on the report. They agree with the report, obviously, in particular with the chapter that they wrote. They do not necessarily agree with the summary, because the summary was written by a different group, a handful of government scientists who had a particular point of view, and they extracted from the report those facts that tended to support their point of view.
For example, they came up with a conclusion--the only conclusion of this 1996 report--that there's a discernible human influence on climate. I don't know what that means. Nobody really knows what that means. On the one hand, it's easy to agree with a statement "a discernible human influence on global climate." Sure, why not? Nights are getting warmer. Maybe that's it. On the other hand, it certainly does not mean--as politicians think it does--it does not mean that the climate models have been validated, that there's going to be a major warming in the next century. It does not mean that. And they don't say that. They just imply it.

You presented a YouTube video as evidence. QED.

Far more interesting would be for you to tell us why it is so important to you that man is not the cause. What difference would it make?

He must pretty desperately want it to be false to, despite the evidence, convince of himself of the absurdity that it is false. But why? What is he so afraid of? It isn't as if it would be the end of the world or as if humanity couldn't do anything about it if it is true.

No, I have seen no evidence of that at all and you have never presented any. It has been discussed over and over with no evidence to contradict my claim. Why do you and others on here keep repeating assertions without a reliable source of information?
"Far more interesting would be for you to tell us why it is so important to you that man is not the cause. What difference would it make?"
Exxonmobile is pushing a carbon tax because it will eliminate competition from coal and increase it's profits while taxing consumers heavily and use that money for who knows what. People are already burdened with enough taxes and more will impoverish people. I would even go so far as to say it would cause needless deaths.

I have told you many times. Why do you lie so much?
