It’s an argument from authority, with that authority being usurped by the arguer. &#xA;&#xA;The actual research indicates rising levels of CO2 and rising temperatures; but does not suggest “drastic” anything. &#xA;&#xA;In short, the research is interpreted, then summarized, then reinterpreted, then re-summarized, in a game of “telephone” that warps and obscures the actual results of the research to align with the goals of the politicians.</html></oembed>
