Blaming humans for everything bad that happens to Earth’s environment/nature is stupid

Actually, what I'm taking about mostly is the landmark UN report released at the end of last year (which was far more drastic than any that have come before it).

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) revealed that urgent and unprecedented changes are needed to reach the target, which they say is affordable and feasible although it lies at the most ambitious end of the Paris agreement pledge to keep temperatures between 1.5C and 2C.

This IS science, "not the horoscope like stuff that's just there to trick the gullible."

More info on IPC: Through its assessments, the IPCC determines the state of knowledge on climate change. It identifies where there is agreement in the scientific community on topics related to climate change, and where further research is needed. The reports are drafted and reviewed in several stages, thus guaranteeing objectivity and transparency. The IPCC does not conduct its own research.

IPCC reports are neutral, policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive. The assessment reports are a key input into the international negotiations to tackle climate change.

Also, what's the supposed scam around climate change? There's actually a lot of big industrial players and governments very financially invested in climate change NOT being true! Oil/Gas lobby, to name one.

If you're going to ignore science by just saying "well it's not science because MSNBC mentioned it, ergo the whole thing is a scam." You're going to live a very closed-off, narrow-minded life. You're asserting your opinions as scientific fact having seemingly never actually looked into the science.
