I am torn on how real the concept is and how devastating the impact may be. Here are some criticisms I have about climate change
>neo-religiosityThe entire concept is cloaked in a fire and brimstone and end-time mentality which we can see in most religions. It can be seen as a substitute for religion. Also, the foremost activists also hold a religious devotion to the concept, calling any criticism of the notion blasphemous while they usually have no background in science.
I can also find similarities between Original sin and global warming.
>propagandaSo you have seen the video of the starving polar bear?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JhaVNJb3agThis is, of course, an emotionally charged video and the immediate conclusion we are to jump to is that the cause of his suffering is global warming. We are not allowed to ask if there is some other reason like if it has an infection.
Also, since 5th grade(2006), in almost every class I had global warming would be brought up.
>scientific approachSo the theory sounds neat but collecting data to prove the theory is harder. Prooving a correlation between an increase in CO2 with the increase in temperature we have seen is hard, and the data is often dodgy, has often been proven wrong or even been manipulated with. The same goes for their positive feedback models and amplification theories.
Now If I were to bring this up to one of the ideologists of the theory, they would appeal to authority(i.e. climate researchers), here again, you can see the religious aspects of the theory, they treat these scientists as some high priests with answers to everything. But let's be honest, do you think that any person who came with an opposing viewpoint would ever get employed by an institute of research?
They also have the idea that everything bad that has happened(e.g. a drought, starving polar bear) is caused by climate change while it could be anything else.
