That CO2, methane and other gases increase in concentration as a by product of billions of people's rising standart of living in mobility and ressource use, I believe.
That is has a mesurable effects on average temperature and climate patterns with logarithmic diminishing returns ( fixed rise per every doubling of concentration ), seems well supported too.
The cherry-picked, misrepresented, catastrophized doomer propaganda I can now see as a pathetic display of fear-mongering manipulation to coerce citizens into supporting whatever policies our elites want regardless of how effective they may be at mitigation... nope. That's a cult-like brainwashing of the masses.
The high emissions scenarios of the 1980's never happened because of the collapse of the USSR, collapsing birth rates of Europeans and increased energy efficiency.
We can simply keep improving our energy efficiency, fix the scorched-Earth population explosion of certain demographics, stabilize Euro demographics and keep rolling with technological progress gradually shifting energy sources as fossil fuels gradually depleate.
Dosen't fit with into the globalist fear porn narratives though. It became a proclamation of faith and heretics who question the "crisis" are instantly lumped with people who believe humans cannot ever emit enough GHG to raise temps by a single degree.
Just like the doomer, pseudoscientific "models" used for WuFlu mortality were hysterical propaganda bullshit. They predicted an excess mortality for Sweden of 100k+ if they didn't enact the same totalitarian policies of other Western countries.
Reality : 8k excess mortality that dosen't even take into account 2019 abnormaly low mortality that was bound to inflate the next toll of a normal flu season among extremely vulnerable people.
Wrong by a factor of more than 10.
Those models were the legitimacy for the lockdowns. The lockdowns were not scraped once those models were falsified by a factor of 10+. In fact, they were made more draconians.
Once the elites got us to submit to draconian restrictions to our basic liberties with falsehoods they may have sincerely believed, they abused that compliance despite the initial arguments falling apart.
And they will do the same with the climate fear porn.
Thank you - I’m not a climatologist, but I’m comfortable with numbers and familiar with reading academic research literature, so I’ve read some of the key papers, and from what I can gather...
It’s pretty clear that CO2 emissions drive some amount of global atmospheric temperature increase
It’s not at all clear what the magnitude of increase in temperature per increment of rise in CO2 is, and (as you’ve said) there may very well be diminishing returns / a dampening effect as CO2 levels rise
Give 2), it’s not really clear whether the temperature rise we see with increasing CO2 emissions really has any practical negative impact as far as rising sea levels and all the other doomer shit everyone is all bent out of shape over.
What’s more, and perhaps more importantly, even if we assume there’s a problem that needs to be solved here to avert whatever catastrophe we think is going to happen, 99% of the solutions being proposed are basically totally impractical in that they’d set the Western world’s standard of living back about 100 years. Of course, given the shit that happened in 2020, I’m sure tptb will still try to force this shit sandwich down our throats regardless. Good times.
These people have been saying we are 10 years away from humanity dying for literally over 200 years, since Malthus. It is a scam for power, and they think themselves to be Dr Manhattan. I expect this talk about aliens is a similar scam.
The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitude and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.

I would recommend Apocalypse Never: How Climate Alarmism Hurts Us by Michael Shellenberger.
Michael Shellenberger is a climate analyst and researcher who also has 30+ years of climate work and activism under his belt.
He currently works for the IPCC as a senior analyst. He used to be Obama's chief environmental advisor.
Effectively he has written his book as a full denunciation of climate alarmism, and debunks pretty much everything the media keeps parroting to us about the climate.
There never will be a climate apocalypse. Because 99% of the issues attributed to climate change have nothing to do with climate change.
Its also a really good book for citations, as the last 100 pages of it is just a very long list of scientific citations.
The sad truth is you were duped by the media and academia's pushing of AGW.
Be proud that as you got older, your critical thinking got better and you were able to see through the bullshit hysteria
Some people never realize the truth.
