Your words: "In the past decade, human-caused global warming has gone from a hotly debated theory to a widely accepted, scientifically validated truth."
Had I written that statement for a paper in any college, or even high school, class I would have had to justify and defend it. It would be nice if you were to make an effort do so. I expect no less from this publication.
While there is some evidence of a general warming trend in the world's climate, it's unfortunate that the media, led by what we fondly call "the alternative press", have seized on the blather of "human-caused global warming and run with it. While it may be a theory, it's NOT widely accepted by anyone other than the lockstep flock, it's NOT scientifically validated, and it's NOT the "truth". There appear to be far more highly qualified scientists in the field of climatology questioning the validity of this theory than are in acceptance, but their voices are being drowned out, much like a child covering his ears and yelling "I can't hear you" to a scolding parent. Penn and Teller have a word for this ............
If you're depending on the IPCC for your information, you're seeing only one side, the agenda of which is vigorously defended by ad hominem attacks on those who don't share "the vision".
I suggest you begin your search for the REAL story by reading the following link, and then watching the video material referenced therein.
