We aren’t climate “deniers.” We just don’t subscribe to the sky is falling religion. A few times a generation the sky is allegedly falling. And it’s always overstated for political gain.
Where is the actual proof humans are changing the climate? Not theory. Not models. But scientific proof? If we are going to make huge policy shifts that affect everyone’s economic prosperity, then it better be more than some computer modeling.
Yes the climate is changing. Does flying on a 747 make it worse? Can you prove it? Conclusively? Because I’m not going to support policy decisions based on a best guess or faith.
And is climate change bad? Any proof of that? If it gets warmer and it increases the growing season in Siberia or Canada, is that “bad?”
And what’s the consequence of batteries everywhere? What are the environmental consequences of that? How about covering the land with solar panels? Can that have a negative effect? Windmills? Any effect on wildlife? Mao tried to exterminate sparrows and it led to a famine.
Debating human caused global warming is like debating fundamentalist Christians.
There is no coming catastrophe. That’s made up. It’s like using Revelation to increase donations to the church.

If we are going to make huge policy shifts that affect everyone’s economic prosperity, then it better be more than some computer modeling. The only way to get actual proof if is we ran a large number of experiments on parallel worlds. This is impossible. There is no control in climatology, only extrapolation. Climatology is more akin to history or archeology than science.
