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.
