Well said. You’ve highlighted many great thinkers on this matter.

Another important thing to note is that there’s a whole bunch of climate models out there. Some track reality pretty well, and others are wildly inconsistent and massively over predict warming. Unfortunately the most inaccurate/alarmist models tend to be the ones highlighted by politicians, the media, and activists for power and profit. Incentives matter, and unfortunately there’s a big incentive to be maximally biased in the other direction.

This all just makes it that much harder to do good science. 

 Have you checked out the Tom Nelson podcast? Here’s a great intro:

He’s got plenty of amazing interviews with skeptics and leading climate scientists who go beyond the manufactured consensus.

Here’s a compilation of some of the highlights of his podcast from 2022
