 youre still missing the point.
the assumption that its a problem is the problem. 
and all the circular “im wif da Science ™️” talk is rooted in a false paradigm from it’s outset. honestly, i think some of it is about corruption, and some is about egos. 
Its clear the data from IPCC was falsified and manipulated from the beginning. Anyone can discover and verify that. Anyone ignoring that, and hanging on to Anthropomorphic climate change is kind of engaging in a fetish. Not interested. 
 I strongly agree with "the assumption that its a problem is the problem".

Its a challenge. Problem in some aspects, opportunity in others. More coconuts, fewer polar bears.

For my country, anything that lets us "discard our hand" and draw a new climate hand is a massive win, coz we really lucked out in the initial deal. 

Western Europe, yeah I can see the problem, but turning yourselves into a parody of North Korea definitely won't help... 
 help me understand what it is that you’re fighting so hard to establish here. you seem to be going in circles.
is your basic premise “rising temperatures are real, but its being piggybacked by political interests?”
cause if it isnt, i have no idea what youre talking about. 
 That's a pretty good summary.

Real, but unevenly distributed, and with very wide 95% confidence intervals.
