Yeah some business papers telling us that this energy transition thing would hurt their bottom line, breaking news at 11

Articles like that exist all over the web, that was the first one I happened to choose. If you're simply going to ignore the actual factual content then you are part of the problem. The 97% claim was clearly meant to shock, and the way the number was reached was bogus. You can bet most people never looked beyond the 97% consensus number and just parroted it back to their friends without actually looking deeper.

I first got interested in climate change after watching "An Inconvenient Truth" with my girlfriend, it was her homework assignment years ago. Honestly I hadn't payed much attention to any of the science beforehand and after watching that movie it had me a bit alarmed. However I never take anything at face value without digging a bit deeper, and eventually realized that most of it was propoganda. The more I researched and dug, the more of a skeptic I became.

All I'm saying is that every person should explore both sides of the argument and come to their own conclusion and not "pick a side" and dismiss everything else.
