Here's the problem that many of us so-called climate change "deniers" have with those who insist that the science is "settled" and that we must do something NOW!!!(TM)... climate change is indeed real, nobody is denying that except for the most extreme of religious nuts who take the Bible and other scripture literally. Climate change has been occurring since time immemorial, during which the planet has gone through tremendous changes from the makeup of its land mass to the type of life that populates it, which by the way has also gone through several periods of mass extinction already over the last 500 million years or so without any assistance from humans.
Now, fast forward to the present day, and (some) scientists and world leaders have concluded that this nasty climate change that has been naturally occurring for billions of years now and only within the last few centuries has been affected by human activity needs to be STOPPED dead in its tracks. And being the benevolent all-knowing leaders that they are, they've also decided that the best way to accomplish this task is wealth redistribution on a global scale via mass taxation and energy regulations designed to cripple traditional sources of energy in favor of "green" ones, which of course conveniently benefits those in power while leaving the rest of us poor schlubs who make up 99.999% of the Earth's population to pick up the tab.
It's the political equivalent of driving a Tesla... it makes you feel really good and smug about yourself believing that you're doing your part to save the world and doing it in style, but in reality you're not changing all that much when it comes to climate change / global warming.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
