Dear Shaun Ward,
I am not sure if the “correct thinkers” you mention are more likely people that realize that we have a climate issue.
All the weather extremes are not happening coincidentally. The extreme heat repeating every year, the fires every year, the high amount of strong storms in the U.S., droughts in many areas and, not even mentioning the disappearing glaciers and melting ice caps in the Arctic.
You will always find some group of people, scientists or not, that will find proof that this is all nonsense. And that the net zero policies will bankrupt countries. Well, if you don’t do something now then this might be the smallest issue.
I agree with the thought that we need some room for debate, but more in like we have to listen to all sides. But we cannot deny an extreme change in weather behaviour, which is based on us humans.
We have polluted since the Industrial Age, and now it’s time we pay the price. I am lucky to live in a country that can do a lot to reduce pollution. And I don’t think we should tell others this or this is the only way, like you said in your letter “I’m right – you do what you are told,“ but if we don’t change things in a big scale we might not have a lot left to give to our kids.

Can you possibly quote some sources other than Global.

Don’t believe everything you see or hear. Be a critical thinker. I will sit back now and wait for the climate cult to denigrate me and the authors of those links, call me a stupid old senior and blah blah blah.
Interesting Andreas how you think humans can magically change their behavior thus the outcome of our climate. That big ball of gas that rises and sets every day is almost a million miles in diameter and only 93 million miles away. In astronomical terms it’s just outside our door. It goes through phases over time where it gets hotter and cooler along with our ever-changing orbit around it. Case in point: The glaciers receded from North America some ten to twenty thousand years ago and YES that was “Climate Change” and guess what Andreas, humans had absolutely nothing to do with it! Who would have known eh! To pin all climate change on human behavior is not only stupid at best it’s just down-right idiotic!
