Agreed.

Phlogiston theory was a consensus.


I'm not sure about that, but at one time it was definitely a
consensus that the Earth was flat. Was the Earth really flat
back then, and only assumed oblate speroid-hood when we
believed it to be so?





I say that human activity will not warm the planet.


Where does the heat go from combusting all that fossil fuel?

We are introducing a HECK of a lot of BTUs into the Earth's
atmosphere & oceans (accounts put the total over a hundred
quadrillion per year). Are you saying that the 1st Law of
Thermodynamics does not apply?



Global warming is at best a transient phenomena.


What would it be at worst?
