Based on reading from both sides of the controversy, IMHO, global warming is indeed happening. But it is being caused by the sun and there is little we mere mortals can do about it.

Methinks part of this "mass hysteria" is to allow a bunch of people to apply for funding to keep chasing something that doesn't exist.

If global warming is debunked, they'll have to find a real job.

But is it as much as the "experts" say? I think not, Urban heat Islands skew the readings.

Incidentally, the more areas that take advantage of Green Roofs show a marked difference is temperature reduction and energy consumption.
