What does that matter? Democrats aren't going to do anything about it either. See Feinstein video above.

Evidence for man-made global warming hits 'gold standard': scientists

“Humanity cannot afford to ignore such clear signals,” the U.S.-led team wrote in the journal Nature Climate Change of satellite measurements of rising temperatures over the past 40 years.
They said confidence that human activities were raising the heat at the Earth’s surface had reached a “five-sigma” level, a statistical gauge meaning there is only a one-in-a-million chance that the signal would appear if there was no warming.
Such a “gold standard” was applied in 2012, for instance, to confirm the discovery of the Higgs boson subatomic particle, a basic building block of the universe.
Benjamin Santer, lead author of Monday’s study at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, said he hoped the findings would win over skeptics and spur action.

New findings reported February 25, 2019 in the journal Nature Geoscience make the case that the effects of cloud loss are dramatic enough to explain ancient warming episodes like the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum — and to precipitate future disaster.
Climate physicists at the California Institute of Technology performed a state-of-the-art simulation of stratocumulus clouds, the low-lying, blankety kind that have by far the largest cooling effect on the planet. The simulation revealed a tipping point: a level of warming at which stratocumulus clouds break up altogether. The disappearance occurs when the concentration of CO2 in the simulated atmosphere reaches 1,200 parts per million — a level that fossil fuel burning could push us past in about a century, under “business-as-usual” emissions scenarios. (Global average atmospheric carbon dioxide in 2017 was 405.0 parts per million (ppm for short), with a range of uncertainty of plus or minus 0.1 ppm.)
In the simulation, when the tipping point is breached, Earth’s temperature soars 8 degrees Celsius, in addition to the 4 degrees of warming or more caused by the CO2 directly.
Once clouds go away, the simulated climate “goes over a cliff,” said Kerry Emanuel, a climate scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A leading authority on atmospheric physics, Emanuel called the new findings “very plausible,” though, as he noted, scientists must now make an effort to independently replicate the work.
To imagine 12 degrees of warming, think of crocodiles swimming in the Arctic and of the scorched, mostly lifeless equatorial regions during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.

The theoretical basis for global warming was published in the late 1800's. But for the sake of argument, the first instance where global warming might be considered to have been brought to public attention was in 1998. Since then we've had Bill Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama each serve 2 terms as president, and the US hasn't made a dent in its outsized per capita contribution in all that time.
This is a US problem, not a party problem.

It might not have been mentioned much in the mainstream news sources, but at least in my experience it had been talked about earlier than that.
I grew up in the Chicago suburb public school system. We had a publication in grade school called The Weekly Reader that gave us information about things that were happening in the world. I have vivid memories of stories published in there that were about global warming, and more specifically the holes in the Ozone layer that we had been causing.
I also remember in one of the articles, scientists saying that if the average global temperature went down one degree that it would cause an ice age, but if it went up one single degree that all of the ice caps would melt. I don't know how true that actually is, but I remember that it scared the crap out of me when I read it.
These articles would have predated 1998 by quite a bit. I was already out of High School at that point. I'd say I was reading about this stuff in class as early as 1986 or so.
.......
Shame... I can't seem to find anything on Google in the way of an archive of old weekly readers. If anybody could find them, please post the links.

BAAAH HAA HA. Okay, there's enough irony for me today.

Amen. I keep hoping for somewhere to go for intelligent discussions. Don't think they exist on the planet anymore, though.
Wish I knew enough about computers to start my own events discussion site.

Yeah. It's a shame that you grew up in Nilbog, IN and have an IQ of 30.
The internet was a much better place when people of your caliber weren't able to get online. It's a shame that people like me had to go and dumb everything down to the point that people like you can use it.
