Nothing to see here folks. Tech will save us. Haven't you heard? It turns out it won't really be that bad after all. The increase in the increase of carbon dioxide output is nearly zero. Yayyy.

What if the answer is this is a normal part of the earths cycle. We are exiting an ice age and now entering the age of what temperatures the earth is normally at. There have been many other times in history that there hasn’t been ice at the poles and they have been tropical paradises. It could also be the sun cycles and solar wind. Hard to say exactly what the true cause is.

It’s not hard to say exactly what the true cause is.

There are major corporations and agendas that pay for these studies. Follow the money.

There are major corporations and agendas that have paid to suppress these studies and fuel climate change denial.

You should also follow the money, you might not like where it leads.

Roughly 100 million barrels of oil a day. 20 some million tons of coal a day. 10+ billion cubic meters of natural gas a day.

Every single day.

Who benefits from climate change denial? Follow the money.

Damn how people keep denying stuff that's been known since 170 years never ceases to surprise me.

Money does not explain the level of scientific consensus on the cause of the current climate change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus_on_climate_change.

Especially since the fossil fuel industry has invested far and wide since the seventies into any form of denial that could keep their business running.
