>If you don’t see the threat of an increase, and don’t understand why scientists are worried about it, then nothing I can say is going to change your mind about it. Even if it does end up being less of an issue, the risk of it being possibly bad for humans is enough reason for me to want to do something about it.
The problem isn't the science. The science clearly is controversial and to date not confirmed. As my devils advocate posting, which only uses scientific positions, clearly explains is that people will attack this science and claim they are 'debunked' or 'just wrong'
The problem is the politics. People who wish to push their ideology have usurped the climate change issue. They propose the only fix to climate change catastrophe is to completely accept their political positions. However, we science deniers haven't given them complete power for 30+ years and so they continue to overexagerate the threat.

The united nation was pushing that it's too late by the year 2000. Their alarmism was wrong and they just kept restarting the number saying another 10 years in 2000. Now if you have seen AOC, we are back to about 10 years from complete disaster. It's the same old story over and over.
The problem is that what if THIS TIME they were right? It's completely unbelievable now.
Look at the people responding to me, they are all asserting that the 'current path' we are on is the IPCC RCP8.5. Which is wrong, the IPCC never asserted that was the expected path. They are outright misrepresenting the threat of climate change. Why are they doing this? Because they wish to take power and push their political ideology.
If you are concerned about climate change risks, you must oppose these people who are abusing the climate change problem for their political gain.
