A debate among the media and the general public rages on over veracity of climate change, especially anthropogenic global warming. This is no longer the case in the accredited peer-reviewed scientific community, where the debate has largely moved on to the role of man (if any) in warming, specifics of warming and possible solutions. We won't get into the more specific scientific nitty-gritty of what those cited facts and arguments ''are'' here. We're about media rather than fact, and mostly it's fantastic [[Flame Bait]].

While much remains to be learned, the core phenomenon, scientific questions, and hypotheses have been examined thoroughly and have stood firm in the face of serious scientific debate and careful evaluation of alternative explanations.|America's Climate Choices: Panel on Advancing the Science of Climate Change; National Research Council, ''Advancing the Science of Climate Change'', page 1}}

The debate, in any event, rages on in full view of the media; whether Earth is currently growing hotter or colder, very few doubt that this intense [[Flame War]] between various factions of the political community continues to produce massive amounts of heat and very little illumination, save the possibility of the future invention of an argument-powered lightbulb.
