>>10848530I understand that the planet is heating up because of humans, but youd have to be insanely ignorant to claim that there isn't a looot of money in climate change by now. All of our german car manufacturers have by now invested billions into electric cars and of course theres a huge industry for solar panels and wind turbines.
If hypothetically speaking there would be some radically new survey or model that could predict future climate much more accurately than we can now, and it (again hypothetically) would show that climate change either isnt happening or isnt human made, you can be sure that these companies would lobby against publishing or accepting that result, as it would invalidate massive investments they made into technology that nobody would use.
Add to that the political wing. Green party may become the strongest in our next federal elections, and if it turned out that it wasnt actually true it would rob them of 90% of their political platform.
Now obviously its unlikely that such a study or survey or model will come and have these results, so working towards reducing emissions and trash should definitely be a major focus of our investments and politics, but the problem with people who are right for the wrong reasons is that they are only marginally better than plain wrong people, cause as soon as circumstances in the real world change, they turn into wrong people.
Plus they easily become delusional and stubborn and since they listen to actual science to the same degree that climate change deniers do, ie none, they are prone to finding solutions that sound really good at first sight or for short periods, but end up either not solving the problem or even making it worse.
