I have a lack of critical thinking skills because I'm skeptical of 1,609 scientists?
Pro-tip: the end goal of climate hysteria is to advocate for de population of humans.
Humans cause the climate change through their activities. Getting rid of humans gets rid of the root cause.
Remember that when the shrieking for total institutional control over all human life begins.

When did any liberal let voting stop them from telling everyone how to think and act?
I'm told Climate change is a global phenomenon.
Who and how you vote determines policy. Part of that policy involves influence in China.
That no one is hammering India and China tells you all you need to know.
Well we live on the same planet. If we are really on a doomsday path to the world being uninhabitable in 12-50 years, it doesnt really matter what we do, if other countries who emit way more CO2 (and increasing at an exponential rate, by the way) than we do matters anyway and have no mitigation matters, correct?
The only way I would support any money going to CO2 mitigation is if the money went to planting trees or seeding the oceans with algae since, you know that's a proven factor in scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere and producing oxygen.
The electric cars and renewable energy is a expensive pipedream.

If you subscribe to young earth being 6,000 years old, assuming reliable human records of temps is 250 years, that's only 4% of the earth's history. Further, significantly less than 1% if the earth is billions of years old. No serious business is making business altering decisions based on 4%, at most, of data.
Ice cores, which seem to be the basis for long term comparisons, can't even reliably tell rate of temp change in small increments. Now way scientists today can reliably compare the rate of the change today for the last 50, 100, 150, or 200 years to ice core data to confidently say it's the fastest rate of change in history.
The people screaming the loudest about climate emergency and demanding action now, still take private jets to Davos (and everywhere else), have houses by the ocean, and aren't urgently reducing their carbon footprint.
The scientists can't even tell us what the optimal temperature of the earth should be.
Anyone claiming science is settled is not a scientist. Science is never settled because that's not it's purpose.
The claims made, now are the same claims made the last 70 years - it's really hard to be a sky is falling person and be taken seriously after you've been wrong so many times.

i won't pretend like the "climate change is real and exacerbated by man" side of the debate is free of political ideology, and i'm not a climate doomer by any means. but to the extent anyone who doesn't believe in man made climate change is convinced scientists on "the other side" are pushing an agenda, consider that those who agree with you often are as well.
This list is a response to the stupid lists put together by political leftists who believe they hold the keys to science and that everyone must agree with them or they are "climate deniers" and anti-science. They are the ones who put lists together and claim "ok it's settled".
I did laugh when you said "two Nobel laureates" opinions are biased because they are in a "climate change denialist think tank". You know...call them what you will, but they did win a Nobel prize...
And you're wrong - in this case 99% of the political ideology $#!% is on the left.

That's simplistic.
A whole lot of it, most of it, arguably, is just about $. There are huge sums of $ being made by green initiatives, just a massive transfer of wealth to people willing to take advantage. And it allows these opportunists to dress up their naked greed in socially-elevated green packaging.
Another major impetus is about control. Cheap energy leads to widespread economic prosperity and freedom. Those who want more govt control want to restrict and reduce cheap energy so as to create more govt dependence.
Finally, a lot of the diehards who aren't enriching themselves are just trying to fill the God-sized hole in their hearts and make themselves feel better by "saving the planet."

there in lies the "genius" in relabeling it climate change - global cooling and global warming theory failed so renaming it "climate change" insured it would maintain "truth".

Ad hominem?
Are their assertions demonstrably incorrect?
This. The climate change acolytes vociferously claim the science is settled and there is 'consensus'. The takeaway of the OP is that there is not consensus. Therefore, anyone claiming that the science is 'settled' is either wrong or lying.Quote:
Anyone claiming science is settled is not a scientist. Science is never settled because that's not it's purpose.
If they are wrong or lying, why? Also, what else are they wrong or lying about? Keep following those lines of questions and the whole climate change con falls apart. But the advocates know that the vast majority of people will not investigate or ask these questions, they depend on the shallowness of the people to maintain their scam.
Considering that's LotY/Manhattan, what else would you expect?
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

If you are asking why those screaming climate emergency are still using fossil fuels, it's because our economy and society are largely built around those fossil fuels. It's impossible not to continue using them. I believe the goal is net zero carbon emissions, not necessarily zero carbon emissions.

Because these scientists are actually following the Scientific Method (based on their statements posted here) whereas the "97%" of scientists who have declared human caused climate change as settled are not. The fact that your side has concluded this is settled ignores the fundamental rule of Science. Considering your side also ignores the fundamental rule of Economics, this is not a surprising take.
Logic and common sense say that any climate change we are seeing has natural causes at play simply because our planet has undergone massive and catastrophic environmental and climate changes throughout it's history. Those changes don't stop; they subside or go dormant but they don't stop. And they are changes that humans had nothing do with and would not be able to alter even if they wanted to.
Taking a position that everything happening now is caused by humans is typical humanistic hubris of the highest order. We are fleas on a dog. Along for the ride.
Do we impact our direct environment with our actions? Of course. Does the big ball of fire in the sky along with numerous other natural processes impact the environment? Of course.
Why not both?
Answer: You can't tax natural processes and now that the big names behind human caused climate change are now openly admitting that this movement is to usher in Marxism and to take from the haves and give to the have nots, we now know this entire movement is a scheme.
It's about money. As everything always is about money.
