It's disputed in the same way that some people think the Earth is flat.

In my experience, global warming has become politicized, and opinions on its reality vary. Reasoning and technology have not provided a definitive solution to the debate, so a rift exists. Some will argue that the causes of global warming cannot be based on computerized models with their problems but needs real scientific evidence. I have also noticed that much depends on the ocean temperatures, which have yet to be fully measured.

It definitely has become politicized. It doesn't follow that there is a reasonable disagreement. If conservatives decided one day that the shape of the Earth was very important for them ideologically, it wouldn't thereby make disagreements about it reasonable.

The shape of the earth can be seen and measured, that cause of global warming cannot be, that is my point

We know what happens when the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases. We know that because we know the relevant chemical properties of CO2 that we can measure in the lab and we know how much CO2 there was in the atmosphere the past and what happened. We also know roughly how much CO2 we are releasing into the atmosphere.

It's not complicated, even if the details are.

I think you will find that there is dispute over whether it's the CO2 or other gases

What I said does not preclude that there are other greenhouse gases.

There is a dispute about what is the most important for global warming
