### Then this is OK, I agree with you. Most scientists, as far as I know,
will indeed say it's quite likely or maybe even proven that warming does
occur.

The only problem is when their limited and careful statements are being
misused by non-scientists with an agenda, but admittedly it's a somewhat
separate issue.
