It’s official because it’s been so thoroughly researched from every different possible angle. It was clear even in 1989, and strongly suggested as early as 1900

- Blikkentrekker 5y agoThe research is also highly politicized. I find this entire subject to carry a vile stench of deep, tribalist politicization. The evidence I read makes me side with the camp that believes that climate change is caused by man, bad for man, and reducible by man's efforts, but I cannot help but sniff the stench of tribalist politics in much of the research that helped to convince me and it's clear as day to me many set out to prove what they proved to prove their tribal allegiance.

- jandrese 5y agoThe research is highly politicized by fossil fuel companies. It's a defensive mechanism to try to prevent anybody from taking action based on the results of the studies. It has been working amazingly well for over 40 years now.
- Blikkentrekker 5y agoThat doesn't make it any less false; this is simply a rhetoric of who started it: the current state is still politicized tribalism.
- tsimionescu 5y agoThe oldest conclusive research on the topic came from (and was buried by) oil company researchers - at a time when this wasn't on anyone's radar at all. The only political stance is climate change denialism, the data has always shown anthropogenic climate change as the most likely explanation, even when it was a fringe new idea.
