What papers? Citation needed.

So far from what I’ve seen, you are not interested in what scientists have to say, but rather you are critical that they don’t say what you think they should say. You’re replacing their expertise, with your expertise as a consumer and voter. If you’re legitimately interested the science behind climate change, and supposedly willing to accept what the experts have to say, then why are you not accepting what the experts have to say?

Interesting statement considering you are marching in step with the climate-change-denying Republicans on this issue.
