How can you sleep knowing C02 levels are probably falling?
I'm not hearing much about global warming now days.

All the big scientists are super concerned!

No one has answered my original question. Why isn't anyone talking about global warming in the media now? I haven't heard a thing about it since probably last fall. Is it because it's so FRICKING cold? Its hard to argue that the earth is warming up when 3/4 of the population of the US is freezing.
It will be fine

It's not hard to argue that at all, but one would have to accept science to be persuaded. At this point climate change deniers are in the same camp as flat-earthers and anti-vaxers, debating them is a waste of time because their position is not based in reality. You aren't hearing much about it because the republicans that control the government have no policy to combat it. We have to hope the market continues to work for a solution. Come on Elon.
2017 to be the hottest year on record that wasn’t affected by El Nino
But hey, it was cold at Rod's house today so who knows?

Doesn't apply to Current Events as there has never been "genuine discussion" in here!

That, right there, is what is called 'psychological projection'.
Very presidential of you.

It wasn't just "cold" ---it was brutally friend'ing miserably cold----and tomorrow is suppose to be worse. Global warming is fake news. There are just as many scientists who argue against it being true as there are saying its a fact.

Expert consensus is a powerful thing. People know we don’t have the time or capacity to learn about everything, and so we frequently defer to the conclusions of experts. It’s why we visit doctors when we’re ill. The same is true of climate change: most people defer to the expert consensus of climate scientists. Crucially, as we note in our paper:
Public perception of the scientific consensus has been found to be a gateway belief, affecting other climate beliefs and attitudes including policy support.
That’s why those who oppose taking action to curb climate change have engaged in a misinformation campaign to deny the existence of the expert consensus. They’ve been largely successful, as the public badly underestimate the expert consensus, in what we call the “consensus gap.” Only 16% of Americans realize that the consensus is above 90%.https://skepticalscience.com/graphics.php?g=82
