>Your comment reads like climate change denialism I think this is religious thinking. You are attacking my idea for being somehow a kind of Wrongthink, and your implication is that expressinf Wrongthink is the reason for the disagreement. But then when you read the comment, it is a statement about what Science is. That being said, I don't feel my personal opinion matters, what is true is my statement. So I think for any further clarification, my comment should be applied to the subject. Can you scientifically prove CO2 is a greenhouse gas? Yea. Can you scientifically prove the world is going to end? No. This latter expression of alarmism is an opinion. This kind of consensus is wrong all the time. Remember Morton's skulls? Look up the history of some of the most embarassing Nobel Prizes. You might think I am a non-believer, heathen by now. Actually, I do try to reduce my carbon footprint, in stark contrast to my observations of most eco-holier-than-thou's behaviors. But I don't buy into the extreme alarmism, nor am I dumb enough to consider this apocalypse a fact. If you're buying this you're just regurgitating ideas that people more powerful than you want you to believe. Probably because they want more authority over the global economy and our lives, and to stop Russia from getting its massive windfall in economic resources that it would get from a significant increase in temperatures.

Man, I wish climate scientists were some sort of powerful cabal that had significant power, but the evidence of utter nonaction for thirty years suggests the exact opposite, that there is in fact a powerful group of people who make a lot of money by continuing to rape the climate for profit.

  People die all the time. Our government has bombed hospitals, weddings, schools. We gun down journalists, then prosecute the whistleblower who published the video. Prosecutors fight to keep innocent people in jail or even on death row. It's not about helping people. And so contrast that with coastal Florida real estate prices continuing to rise. It's also not about saving such supposedly doomed resources. The earth is also not going to end. We already have prosperous metros below sea level. It is about power and control. But yes this religion has truths to it. We should follow a principle to first do no harm, and to artificially impact the climate would break a supposed hippocratic oath. But I find it strange and disturbing how psychopathic everyday people can become when it comes to these things. So much hand waving and holier than thou talk and yet I watch the samd kinds of people's behavior and the two do not reconcile.
