So many questions!

My original point was to do with testable science, not opinoin polls.

I for one would not want a show of hands (in the cabin) of where to steer an airliner, or (in the waiting room) of where to make a surgical incision.

Some things are best left to experts.

On scientific principle, you make a hypothesis, then test it. If found false, toss it.

Shock jocks don't do that. Their sweeping statements that sound plausible
are often easily falseified...but that crucial bit often never makes it to air.

Greenhouse as such is a predictive, testable and measurable effect.

As to the notion of whether the industry of 7 billion humans are adding to the effect for about 2 centuries is a reasonable hypothesis, I'll leave it to you to decide.
