If people are hysterical about climate change, then the hysteria isn't a hoax.
Anyone that says it's a hoax has their head stuck in the sand fran. It is heating up and that is all there is too it. Only way to cool it off for a few years is a world wide nuke war or a nice rock from space.
This is why many old data points have been empirically corrected. I remember at my old school where the thermometer was placed in a white, ventilated box out in an open field in the sun! Ocean water temperatures were measured by lifting a bucket of water out the ocean then measuring the temperature. This resulted in lower temperature readings. So correcting those would raise the ocean water temperatures which would lessen the apparent warming we are measuring.
Thing is, scientists are not stupid people. They know these things and make corrections for them.
Getting an 'accurate' reading of 0.0001 of a degree is the result of many many readings being averaged out. But where do you see a temperature of 0.0001 degree being proclaimed?
Another consideration is that ice absorbs heat when it melts. A lot of heat. So when one gets a temperature increase of 0.1 degree (Celsius), that's one hell of a lot of heat!
But you said; "And they say they are scientists?" I guess should have checked with you first. Are you a scientist? I mean, you seem to have the qualifications to criticize these frauds who claim to be scientist, right? And you would obviously be well aware of the measuring discrepancies of the past and the measures taken to compensate for those discrepancies? Correct?
Aah! Another qualified expert. Might I ask what your qualifications are, exactly? What field did you qualify in?
They have been caught before making "adjustments" so it fit their agenda.
Global average temperatures are heating up much faster in higher latitudes, we have fires and heatwaves in Siberia, Canada, and Alaska now. It will likely be too late for extreme decarbonization, but most of the warming is already baked in. Short-term relief could be something similar to global dimming, dim the output of the sun by an even greater amount with more aerosol concentrations, and the rise in temperatures could be slowed somewhat.

The number of huge billion dollar weather/climate disasters will only keep getting larger by the year, got any other great ideas?
Sure, we adapt as we always have.
Also, question the use of computer modeling as empirical data (it's not/GIGO forever), and the redistribution of $$$ to somehow "solve" this "problem".
The people who are vehemently opposed to doing anything about climate change, because it isn't human caused shouldn't complain too much when their insurance premiums go up or have to bear the expense to move inland to get away from repeated 150+ mph hurricanes. And I wonder how costly it will be to truck bottled water to Salt Lake City, Phoenix and Las Vegas. Wouldn't be surprised if the same people who don't want the government to do anything about climate change feel it shouldn't do much in helping out the clean ups. They seem to hate FEMA.
Can you tell us what the temperature of Earth should be?

Please let us know what the temperature of Earth "should be."
You seem to know that what's currently happening is "bad," so obviously you must know what it "should be."
Give us a number. Thanks.
