Hey! Zack! Toast was from Jay who died young because he was busted up about everything that was what it shouldn't be besides his own arty brain. RIP my friend Jay 1963 to 2018 because you found peace where no peace of mind was to be found. They called you such a private person but you felt more then most.

The normal solution is tax the US and give the money to other countries. That is literally what the Paris Accord does. When they get off their private planes, I might believe we have a serious problem. Just one coast to coast flight in a private plane (21mt) emits more carbon than 1 person driving their car for 4 1/2yrs. (4.6mt)
The planet is fine. There is and always will be climate change. We are at the end of the ice age (there is still ice....we are still in the ice age) as we get closer to the end of it, the temperature will increase slightly. Because of the SUN....not because of human activity.
Carbon is not the cause of warming....it is the effect.
Conveniently ignoring the fact that the ocean is full of plastic, the air is full of toxins from the profligate burning of fossil fuels (its not all about CO2), more species have gone extinct in the last 200 years than in ANY period of similar time since the space rock killed the dinosaurs ...
I did. But accusing pepole of dishonesty without proof could be considered libelous.

The key words are "do you think". Danilo isn't accusing the scientists of dishonesty, m2c is with her "follow the money" comment. Accusing them of accepting bribes (actually the deniers are doing that, from Big Oil).
Don't you feel like there are many other people who think the way you do about global warming? Seems to me like there would be enough money in corroborating your views, if proper science allowed for it. (Those who contradict geoscientists' conclusions often do so by misrepresenting the latter's own work.)
There's no doubt that many huge corporations in oil, mining, cattle ranching etc. would pay massive sums to scientists who could demonstrate that greenhouse gases work the way they would want them to... At least it could spare them the necessity of spending millions on lobbying conservative politicians. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jul/19/big-oil-climate-crisis-lobby-group-api
