I consider myself a person who is very cautious is coming to conclusions, even if those conclusions are radical.
Having reviewed a great deal of the literature on the subject, I have a very high level of confidence (over 90%) that the mainstream scientific view of global warming is correct.
Most knowledgeable reviewers of the scientific literature on the subject agree with you, which is a good reason for those of us who haven't read the literature in depth to conclude that they're very likely to be right. We have good reason to believe that anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are causing global warming that will increasingly disrupt the world's climate. At this point I suspect that it's largely a matter of adapting to a warmer world rather than of trying to prevent it, as there seems no prospect of substantial reductions in emissions in the near term.
