Your talking points are showing, but they are fairly devoid of facts.

Ninety-seven percent of the climate scientists surveyed believe
“global average temperatures have increased” during the past century.

Eighty-four percent say they personally believe human-induced warming
is occurring, and 74% agree that “currently available scientific
evidence” substantiates its occurrence. Only 5% believe that human
activity does not contribute to greenhouse warming; the rest are
unsure.

I give up - it's just not worth discussing with true believers.

Which is fine - you want to believe it, believe it.

Although I would point out that there must be more than 479 "climate"
scientists in the world.
