Hi Wesley. Here is how I see things.
If TL;DR here are my thoughts on the matter:
Pollution no matter what it is must be stopped. Earth can take much, but come on greedy people! We cannot be sure how much our CO2 output affects the climate, so try not to do more of it ok?
The biggest enemy how ever is the financial system. We create debt, that needs more work to be done to pay it off. Banks do not have money. They just create debt. Production and consuming must also raise with the debt, so we can pay all loans. This is just forced pollution, so that somebody can make more money, or more debt for somebody to pay back.
Here are some things that I have found trying to look into this hysteria. Do not believe me. Go look for yourself
1. The climate is changing!
- Yes. That is true. It has changed for 4,5 billion years.
- just check the temperatures between ice ages
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interglacial - 125,000 years ago the earth had 300ppm of CO2 and a temperature 5c warmer than now and sea levels rose 6 to 9 meters.
2. Temperature has never been so high during the time we have measured
- This was cherry picking. They use the term "measured" and they do not take all the measurements since 1700. No ice core samples when you "measure"
- Temperature went down from 1940 -> 1975. Right after the war when industry boomed
- If you wanna go all the way, you look at the ice core samples.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ice-core-data-help-solve/ - The temperature has been FAR greater in the past and CO2 also. But if you do not talk about ice core samples, you can say it is now warmer than ever
3. Sea level is raising
- Yes. It has been doing that since the last ice age. 40cm in every 100 years
4. CO2 is poison
- It is an odorless colourless gas, that makes up everything living on this planet. Plants grow from it and then create sugars, proteins and hydrocarbons. We eat animals and salad and we grow too.
5. CO2 is a dangerous greenhouse gas
- Greenhouse gases are 75% water vapor and clouds. 20% CO2 and rest is ozone etc.
- Human production of CO2 is 7% out of that 20% in atmosphere. So 7% of greenhouse gases somehow judge how climate behaves?!?
6. CO2 raises global temperature
- It does affect the temperature, but how much? It is a funny element, because it can only trap certain frequencies. So doubling the CO2 does not double its effects. It has diminishing returns
- We can see from the ice core data, that temperature rises first and then 200 years after the CO2 raises. More vaporising sea water?
7. 97,5% of climate scientists agree, that man made climate change exists
- This was harder to find, since you find so many scientsts that oppose the current main stream (IPCC) idea

He sent over 10000 surveys to people, that have written papers on climate. Got 3500 replies and arranged them to classes like "did not answer on the second question of the survey. going to count that a 'yes' " If you go through his whole data and actually find the people that checked the question "Earth is warming up and human emissions of greenhouse gases are the main cause" were under 70 people. UNDER 70 FROM more than 10000 surveys. He really needed to pull some tricks to get that to 97,5%

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexepstein/2015/01/06/97-of-climate-scientists-agree-is-100-wrong/#d94f6073f9ff8. Polar ice is melting
- Yes. On North Pole. Antarctica is gaining ice. Over 300 feet since 1940
- The digged out a plane that crashed during the war
https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/glacier-girl-the-back-story-19218360/ - Greenland has had warm periods like "the medieval warm period"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period . Forests and green pastures in Greenland and Vikings went there
9. Hurricanes and storms are worse than ever.
- another cherry pick. Report was done 2014, but the data was from
-
https://nypost.com/2018/09/19/no-global-warming-isnt-causing-worse-hurricanes/ - The monster hurricane trend is not raising
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42251921 - When media gives you the news, they will tell you that climate change caused this weather
