Question: What would it take for the man-made climate change skeptics to agree that we are impacting our climate?
I always see you folks write that the data is not there yet to support the contention that we are impacting our climate by releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases. There really is loads of data to support that and the vast majority of climate scientists have conmcluded so.

What would it take for the skeptics/ deniers to finally accept this data?

Some real science. Pretty simple, huh?

Maybe you should get a job in the private sector and take your mind off of this.

Skeptics have decried "book learning" and theory as being unsuitable for understanding climate physics. Instead, skeptics claim that small-scale laboratory experiments are a better way to approach the problem. If that is true, why are the science-based arguments proposed by professional skeptics for the most part based on theoretical arguments or thought experiments? Why, if experimentation is the way to go, are there no professional skeptics actually making measurements?
