I can field this one, I'm a non-believer!

The oil industry gets $4,600,000,000 (that's billion) in subsidies - each year. The green industry gets $13,600,000,000 (billion) in subsidies - each year. These are JUST tax breaks, nevermind all of the other ways there are to make/save money. Notice how the "climate change is real" narrative changed, once the funding changed? Currently, the green lobby is on top, and has the loudest voice - and it's currently getting about 3x the subsidies as Big Oil.

For me, it really comes down to this:

With this much, this absurd amount of money on the line for BOTH sides, any scientists who is capable of telling the true, scientific truth, is already bought-and-paid for. It is physically impossible to know the truth about climate change - not with tens and hundreds of billions of dollars on the line.

Anyone with the equipment and skills to be able to tell you the truth, cannot tell you the truth.

Put another way: for every scientists you can find "for" your opinion, I can find just as legitimate scientist who will "stake his reputation" to the opposite. The scientific community is completely, and utterly compromised. Nothing can be trusted.

So, what is the answer? I don't know. I tend to look for the whistleblowers (in the oil and green industries), because that is when tiny bits of truth leak out. Until then, it is literally a coin-flip as to who is "telling the truth". But if you are blindly believe one side (either Big Oil or Big Green), then I think you're being sold a bill of goods.
