Are there any reputable scientists that question the effects of

global warming? Ones that are not paid by anyone with a horse in the race.

1. Not really. It's all arguing about how much and how fast now

The "skeptics" have no credibility. They're usually paid by shadowy "foundations" that have direct links to the oil or coal mining companies.

3. I have heard

and have never looked into it

that some guy from NASA disagrees with global warming.

Can somebody give me some talking points on this? Or did I get it wrong?

5. There was some controversy over satellite data

Ground based temperature readings showed an obvious change, but some satellite readings didn't corroborate this.

When they realized a small correction was needed on the satellite data, everything lined up.

When this revelation was made, it put the final nail in the skeptic's coffin. All the empirical data showed global warming was real and accelerating.

2. no

some disputes about details of the mechanism and the effects

but only political whores or the religiously insane deny global warming

4. I don't think any question the reality of Global Warming, only the cause
