Utter nonsense.
Every time I see some spouting statements about the indisputable nature of "the science" of global warming and all its reputed implications, I know that the person speaking is no true scientist. Such talk is nothing more than fanatical blather.
Science is all about disputation and skepticism. Free inquiry and discovery is its purpose. The increasingly totalitarian tone of emotion-driven environmentalists is one of the more glaring reasons to actually suspect the "science" of "global warming" rather than be persuaded by it.
The science is far from "settled" when climate scientists keep publishing data that raises questions and shows that uncertainty is significant.

"Today, polar bear populations are facing threats previously unprecedented during recorded history in the Arctic."
Google a few key words, then screen for the true scientists, rather than pundits.
Many posts will be made disputing this, from people who manifestly refuse to accept anything that might suggest that there is any data to support anthropogenic global warming. But if we are going to deal with the world, we have to start with what is, not what we wish it to be. And recognizing what is, means critically looking at the span of data, ALL the data, not just cherry-picked points that support one position or another.
