Those who think it doesn't exist are mostly paid by global corporations to

aware of any top-notch, independent scientist who has written there is
nothing to the phenomenon.

There aren't many independent scientists. They all get funding from
somewhere, usually from governments. And those who don't tow the line
of global warming are ostracized and they usually won't see any
government funding. In a nutshell, long-term global climatic
predictions are a very complicated undertaking. And the computer
models in place don't come close to the complexity of what actually
takes place. That doesn't mean that global warming is not being
driven by man-made activities. What is does mean is that perhaps
people should take pause before believing that it's an indisputable
fact that global warming is being driven by man-made activities. Just
35 or so years ago, the so-called indisputable science showed us
entering a new ice age, and those scientists who didn't buy into that
were the ones who had their motives questioned.
