Here's an example of your "scientific consensus" and how very easily it can be manipulated:

"The results of my little experiment demonstrate, at the very least, that some fashionable sectors of the American academic Left have been getting intellectually lazy." - Alan David Sokal, PhD, in 1996, regarding the original Sokal academic publishing sting

97% + of climate scientists agree that the overwhelming evidence shows that the current rapid climate change trends are extremely likely to be due to human activities.

It costs you absolutely NOTHING out of pocket to make small changes to your carbon footprint, so your excuse that you 'must pay money' and 'it's a racket' is totally nonsensical.




What doing nothing is going to cost you is this:

If I make small changes to my carbon footprint. What return on investment will I get? Scientifically speaking?

THE POINT is that the RATE of change is unprecedented.


I'm not bothering discussing this someone who does not want to listen. I've been down this road before and I have better things to do with my time.



Read the science.



Learn.

We don't know the rate of change is any different than periods of the past. Weather hasn't been documented long enough to determine that.

Weather hasn’t, but climate has. Ice cores record climate going back a few hundred thousand years.
