But, you're not a scientist, nor are you opinions much
to debate, in my experience.. Maher spoke to this..

Moore asserted that the debate on climate change is still ongoing.
“That’s a canard, Steve,” said Maher. “There are scientists on
the other side, but they’re backed by the American Petroleum
Institute.”
Again, Moore asserted that there’s still a debate about whether
the Earth’s climate is changing.
“Should we still debate whether the Earth is flat?” Maher demanded.
“That’s not how science works. At some point, you reach a consensus,
then debate the next issue.”
