Unfortunately, pretty much ALL scientists are bought and paid for now. There is virtually no unbiased Science nowadays. Conflicts of interest are the norm.
So, I go on my own scientific knowledge and observations.... what makes sense? To me, based on the laws of Thermodynamics, humans are but a speck in the total energy of the planet. For climate change to be anthropogenic (caused by humans) makes absolutely ZERO scientific sense. The climate is largely driven by the Sun, which by golly... changes its output constantly. Human input / output is the proverbial drop in the ocean of energy.
Then when I consider that our "leaders'" proposition that they can "prevent climate change" by taking money and control from citizens... Well... There ya go. That's not Science. It's a money and power grab under the GUISE of science, which works quite well on the general population who know little of actual science and defer to the "experts."
Also consider that literally NONE of the "experts'" predictions have come true. They are batting ZERO on their dire warnings of doom if we don't change our ways (which means giving them money and power).
Everybody is bought and paid for in some ways. Figuratively or literally. Science is also not immune from giant egos. There are plenty of disagreeing liberals and conservatives in that world too.
Stating the obvious... climate is astronomically complex. Even with the models that run on supercomputers they can only speculate on what's going to happen a month, a year or a decade from now. Very much like the stock market. Too many variables.
You also find a colossal number of people whose opinion on the climate is based entirely on their politics. Which is the dumbest, least objective point of view anyone can hold. This exists on all sides. In fact, it's rampant.
So little is understood about how everything around us works. Even though more is understood today than it ever was in the history of mankind, the experts still get it wrong. On a greater scale, why did the water and atmosphere of Mars disappear? Matter cannot be destroyed, so where did it all go millions of years ago? Nobody is sure. Yet.
Even the best, science based predictions are based only on what we know. What has already happened. Patterns. When something new happens, it often can't be explained.
I'm inclined to agree that warming and sea level rise, which are interrelated and absolutely true, is not being driven by human actions. At least not to the degree that some alarmists say it is. Temperature rise and sea level rise is a simple fact. It can't be faked. Why it's happening is another thing all together.
It's flat out stupid to deny that because some natural cycle has begun that may go on for hundreds of years, maybe thousands, it is not happening because you barely notice the change in your lifetime. Or you are unaffected by it. Like you live in Kansas and deny beaches are flooding even though you have never lived anywhere that's an arms length above sea level. I shake my head at how ridiculous some people can be - and their opinion is usually politically motivated.
I occasionally encounter hippie-tards who actually believe we should stop burning coal to produce electricity tomorrow. They don't realize that there's nothing in place to replace it. The entire country (or world) would come to a screeching halt and millions of people would die within a month of throwing that switch. They are monolithic thinkers. On the other side of the coin, there are conservi-tards who have no grasp of how industry, if left unchecked, can literally destroy the delicate ecosystem that we live in. The Earth is resilient and will survive us. But there are a few things to remember. When the soil and water is poisoned, Earth will still be here but we will be dead. When the bees die, we are next. When the oceans are dead, so are we. So we need to be sensible in what we dump onto this organic spaceship we live on and not negligently poison it.
