Is this consensus of the elites an acceptable proposition to a majority of the Western world?

Actually they'd rather kill off most of the world's population in the name of "climate change," but really because the elites just want to rule over the remaining surfs.Que Te Gusta Mas said:

It is an irrational selfish and nihilistic religious trope from leftist fools. The data clearly indicates that is not the case, and trends do not support the need to impoverish the population, and basic morality requires that poor nations be given fair opportunities to improve their conditions. People with enough wealth to lose are the ones that care enough about the future to bother to look to it, and have the means to even consider it.
The capitalist class, the people who built their wealth from scratch, tend to feel proud, not guilty, for what they built. They defend free markets as part of their legacy. Their children and grandchildren who inherit their wealth struggle with their purpose.

Yes, but just us. Not them.Que Te Gusta Mas said:

The true insanity of that is we actually have the reverse problem, especially in Western countries. The consequences of depopulation are going to make life much harder than most realize.FJB said:
Making people poorer is only a step towards eliminating the people.
This is alll about depopulation.
Human activity is a very minor factor in climate change, and, as you say, possibly a positive one. CO2 from natural phenomenon is much greater than from human activity. In the time frame of geology, CO2 level in the atmosphere is currently low. AND, cycles related to the sun far out weigh all other factors. Global cooling is much worse for humanity than warming.MouthBQ98 said:
Then there are those of us who are sure man generated carbon has some influence in the climate but are not at all convinced that it is a net negative thing and that we could make a lot more CO2 and still easily adapt to the resulting changes, or at least adapt much more easily than suffer the consequences of a vain and futile attempt to prevent climate change over time.
There's simply no reason to particularly worry about climate change as a looming disaster when it can just as much present opportunities to humanity, and it is a natural phenomenon of the global system. Humanity is just one of many drivers of constant change.
