Without wanting to get into politics. Climate change is real. The climate is changing, that's undeniable. Now the political posturing over who's at fault or what the cause is is dubious. But the real effects are that the climate is changing, year over year storms are rising in strength. The polar caps are shrinking. And the water levels are rising. But... And this is a big but... We are also entering into a solar maximum, which does have effects on those climates.
Me carrying a 10p bag for life, or drinking through a paper straw is making zero difference when you consider the gigantic tyre burning out in Kuwait. Humans have got sure contributed to perhaps the acceleration of climate change via increasing CO2 quicker than what would otherwise naturally occur. But climate change has unfortunately become a political standpoint rather than an objective factually based premise that the climate is infact changing. More tsunamis, stronger cyclones and hurricanes. Hell the hottest summer on record was last year... And the year before that broke the previous record. This winter has broken last year's record lows, and last year broke the previous year's record lows. So yes it's changing. Change can mean lots of things, my view of it is that the climate is becoming less stable, we sat in a pretty steady zone for quite a while, and now we're hitting higher highs in temperatures and lower lows in temperatures. That is a change from what was considered the norm.
As for fraud related to climate change, yeah, businesses able to write off taxes for being "greener" they're not being greener they're doing the same stuff only the rules have been written to allow it. Or carbon offsetting where if you import things the amount of CO2 produced in its production doesn't count to your quota because a different country made it. also known as making it someone else's problem.
I know it's a divisive topic, but I can honestly say that objectively the climate is changing. What I wish they'd do (as I'm sure you'd agree) is stop politicising it weaponising it.
Sorry, that became a much longer wall of text than I had originally intended. Sometimes explaining myself concisely is something that's hard, especially via text, on such a big topic.
