Right again. Climate change is to tax carbon emissions, it is more about money than anything else and redistribution of that money.

I never said it was proven I said I believed it happened.
Oh, yes. A petition signed by over 30.000 scientists. Organized by Art Robinson, who is coincidentally also involved with the Oregon Petition. Read the wiki page on it (you can find it
here). And now this petition. It has started in 1998 I believe, and it is now 2016. So in the span of 18 years(it came into the spotlight in 2016, so let's focus on that year) It got a grand total of 31,000 signatures by that time. However, the wording is debatable, especially in the second paragraph:
'There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.'
I'd ask you to find it for yourself, but let's not go there. It's basically in the wording of the first sentence: '...is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause ...'. Since that type of phrasing is used for a certainty, as in, a '100% of the time true' situation, it leaves no room for reasonable doubt. That will allow scientists to sign it with a clear conscience, I suppose. It would also be interesting to know if all of the scientists who signed it have actually studied in a relevant field pertaining to the petition at hand. For instance, I doubt a psychologist or a philosopher or a dental surgeon have any knowledge regarding this subject, but they could easily have signed it.
I have very serious doubts about the quality and authenticity of this petition.
