I love you guys, I truly do but if you don't "believe"in climate change, can you just not voice it everywhere?

Never said DOOMSDAY, I did however say that we should be worried about climate change.

Do you know about geochemistry? Model building? Proxy collection? Trophic dynamics? Or botanical science (c3 vs c4.. Metabolism)?

I have a bachelor's biology, chemistry, PhD in chemical toxicology and did my post doc in neurotoxin modelling. Most of my grad work was in a geochemical lab for modelling variance. This is specifically why I speak about climate change. Not because I am a climatologist but because I understand modelling difficulty, the biology, and the chemistry of CC forcing.

I understand that taking a proxy (like ice core with heavy carbon variance in co2 bubbles) and inputting it into a system to create a reliable output has a shit ton of noise that's hard to factor in. Modelling the Earth is..you know..kind of complex.. but that doesn't mean it's not happening.

I mean let's petend none of the authorities from climatologists, biologists, geologists, chemists, environmental scientists, meteorologist or toxicologists like myself weren't putting forth concerns from their field (I have literally NO agenda.. but if you want Mercury from the Arctic released worldwide or the increase of chlorothalonil (fungicide) in shrimp to increase, synergism in clam resmethrin toxicity, and an increase in the presence of antibiotic shellfish resistance ..then keep on keeping on)... but there was more flooding, tornadoes, heat conditions, and irregular snow falls. Would you just be like "yea I guess that's just the natural variability of the weather eh?"

Tell me a good reason to not put forward procedures to mitigate our carbon footprint while being considerate of the economy? Can you give any?
