Scientific "opinions" are sold to the highest bidder, just like scientists claimed smoking cigarettes was good for you decades ago and more recently claimed opioid painkillers were non-addictive. Neither were true.

Meanwhile, like I have suggested to others with similar "insights" like yours, you really should pass them onto the scientific community because no doubt they don't know what has been going on over the course of the Earth's history like you do. If you know anything about the dinosaurs and how they got wiped out, you might throw that in as well, because no doubt they need that sort of information too!
Of course, they know. But if they say otherwise, they get to keep their jobs. Always follow the money.

Yes science is aware of that....

The term Climate Change "Denier" really is awful!
It's accurately descriptive.



The earth is warming. Partly due to natural processes and partly due to human activity.


Nature isn't concerned with anyone's opinion.



Carry on.

Because there's no correlation between earth's CO2 levels and climate change in either direction (warmer or colder). And that's true over earth's 4+ billion year history.

Like those religious doomsday cults such as Jehovah's Witnesses?

They've been predicting that the world is going to end for the last 100 years. And people still believe it.
No climate scientist has said that the world will end, but obviously that's your story and you are sticking to it....It won't end if global temperature gets above 1.5C, but it will get damned uncomfortable in many places. Many species will not have time to adapt and will go extinct.

Humans are dumb and will die out of their own hand. How is really incidental. The end.

Now that is just nonsense...Yes, the climate has changed before humans, and in most cases scientists know why. In all cases we see the same association between CO2 levels and global temperatures. And past examples of rapid carbon emissions (just like today) were generally highly destructive to life on Earth.

Where'd you get that idea? We have weather records going back hundreds of years.

What of the professionals who debunked the denial that cigarettes were good for you? What of the professionals who are demonstrating opioid painkillers are addictive? Toss whatever scientist tell us into the bin of "paid for opinion," and just how do we go about deciding who to believe and why? I'm guessing your choice is based on some bias of yours rather than what most scientists believe and are making significant effort to PROVE to anyone who understands the science! Along with the rest of us who clearly don't.

Most scientists are about more than just making a buck in my opinion, or they would have chosen another profession to begin with.
