    1. It only takes ONE scientist to prove all the other scientists wrong. Or,
    at least, that is how science SHOULD work.

A scientist who disagrees with the rest can persuade them -- with
evidence.  The reason essentially all real climate scientists
acknowledge global heating is that they are looking at the evidence.
At this point, people who disagree are closing their eyes to it.

    2. What you're saying is that the desertification of Spain is caused by too
    much CO2, which has been put into the environment by humans. Those are
    quite big leaps.

For reference about the evidence for global heating and its effects, see
