You believe in popular AGW theory. Not everyone does. Not everyone takes it as fact that global warming is what folks say it is. There's enough spin and inconsistency in the scientific community that not even they agree on it. Let's assume for sake of discussion that warming is happening. Okay. I'll do my best to live responsibly. Am I going to buy in to all the Chicken Little melodrama? Nope. Also, I thinking there's enough good momentum towards use of alt energy resources, that we're going the right direction.

  This is hacker news. Here, climate change is a conspiracy theory, automation will never destroy any jobs or require any change in how we live, and unregulated capitalism is the solution to everything. Oh, and we're pretty stoked about our new NRX, oh, sorry, alt-right president! What, you thought this community was better? That smart people are smart? Sorry - smart people are stupid too - their mistakes are just bigger. Who do you think designed the nazi war machine, idiots? Was Speer a dullard? No. intelligent people believe just as much stupid crap as the next man. They choose to ignore their education in favour of emotion. Yarr, down she goes. Creatures which dwell under rocks dislike the light.

There's enough spin and inconsistency in the scientific community that not even they agree on it. The scientific consensus is that global warming is real. Climate change is happening now. The debate is about the details: how much warming there will be, how fast, and what the effects will be. This is a normal part of science, and how it's supposed to work. Regardless of the details, at this point, it is pretty clear by now that we are screwed even if we aren't quite sure how badly. As far as I can tell, the only spin comes from idiot politicians invested in the status quo.
