So, basically, there is no way we're saving the planet?

Governments' money....regular people cannot compete with that. 
There is less carbon now than in the past. There is evidence of increasing carbon being a affect of the warming earth not the cause. 
The climate changes,  it is not man made change. 
When the climate alarmists stop flying their private jets to the climate accords while expecting us peons to ride our bicycles, I will believe there is an issue. 

"How many honest scientists do you believe there are?"

According to Psychology Today, "In one recent study, 60 percent of people reported telling no lies during a typical day, with another 25 percent telling one or two lies per day. So, 85 percent of people appeared to be quite honest."

Having spent almost eight decades with my fellow human beings, that number sounds about right. This post was edited by NYAD at May 19, 2023 7:37 AM MDT

Assuming the people did not lie to the people doing the study....

Ah, did you read my last line? I've got enough personal experience with humanity to make my own assessment. Thanks for your feedback!!
