And because you think 22000 years ain´t enough, you simply refrain from posting one with a longer time scale? Because you already know it will support the exact same point: climate change is happening drastically faster than ever before at speeds usually associated with mass extinction.
Science has definitely become political,
Yup, climate change deniers and anti-vaxxers are definitely a political, the latter group not even having anything meaningful to contribute.
I have first hand experience, not from a climate pov, but other scientific fields.
With the same lack of care for facts as evident from your opening statement i presume.
I don't have a climate background, but this "consensus" is worrisome
No, it is not "worrisome". Science will always lead to consensus, as there is just one truth out there. Science has also demonstrated numerous times that consensus evaporates very quickly when new data contradicts it. Science is not religion.
I've heard a few scientists working in this area with concerns also but are too scared to come forward as it may jeopardise their careers.
you heard? The uncle of a neighbor know someone that overhead two room cleaners talking about two scientists talking about....
This is the most concerning thing, not being able to query, for the benefit of scientific progression.
Where exactly can´t you query? Science is more open to inquiry than ever before, thanks to the internet pretty much all the raw data is available to everyone, enough computing power to run climate and/or weather models with reasonable resolution are available for the desktop. If that consensus was in any way a sign of some sort of conspiracy, that should be very easy to debunk. So, why are all the clime-change denying websites so terribly bad, full of obvious errors that every one with a working highschool math and science understanding can easily spot.
Or could you point us to a source that a) is scientifically sound and b) denies any significant human contribution to climate change?
