The comments in this article really make me sad.

  Commiserations - but what is the point of your comment? You have a gut feeling it's correct? I guess you mean that you agree with the proposition. Fair enough but why not confront the hard arguments on either side?

    I'm pretty convinced that the 97% of educated scientists working in the field have already done that. The confusing part of this is why you'd trust politicians and big oil more than those educated and studied in the field.

    You're right, I usually try to have more substance in my comments. This one was a bit knee jerk. I'm not confronting the argument because I'm tired of it. I side with the article so the comments make me sad because so many people try to justify why 97% is not really 97%. I'm of the standpoint that addressing climate change is: 1. Morally right because of the impact on future generations 2. Good for the economy (creates jobs and lessons dependency on sources of energy that are not harvested locally) 3. Something the market demands (just look at Tesla Model 3 sales) It's a win any way you cut it. The comments remind me that for a lot of people, climate change denying is a religion not a reasoned opinion. To those who read this who are deniers, please don't be offended and I don't have the energy to defend climate change. But this is my opinion on the matter.
