 problem is a chosen definition with a purpose.
The data has been manipulated and falsified from the IPCC onward. 
The entire construct is untrustworthy. 
 This is literally true, I agree, but we still have warming (how much, when and where are valid questions with uncertain answers), and we need to work out how we are going to adapt, and what interventions will do more good than harm.

Most of the proposed interventions are very harmful AND are quite useless. 
 can't say we have it if you don't know how much and when 🤦‍♂️ 
 That conclusion does not follow. 
 🥱 
 Yes, it does. To say we have it with it being warming, you are stating that you have a statistically valid trend, which means you have to have some idea of how much. 

 If you do not know where a climate and geographically connected event is occurring, then you cannot say that you know it is happening at all.

 
 I hope you're trolling bro, because you're doing a terrible job advocating for your views if you aren't.

Read the rest of this thread if you want to understand my viewpoint. 
 to paraphrase Bayo Akomolafe, the response to the crisis is part of the crisis 
 Well put.

I'd go as far as to say its a /larger/ crisis. 
 That's something you know or something you wished was true.
