Private enterprise is notoriously poor at funding pure science where many of the significant discoveries are made which then deliver economic advantages. Yes many state funded scientists might be constrained in their work by political considerations but I find it difficult to believe they have as a whole deceived with the overwhelming evidence that human caused climate change- primarily from burning fossil fuels is now causing considerable increase in the global temperature. Unprecedented rising sea temperatures have now been recorded and unprecedented warming is now occurring. Solar activity has always varied in intensity but the scale of warming now is not attributed to solar variations by any of the mainstream science I have seen. Yes it is a hugely complex debate with questions such as should nuclear be used more to replace fossil fuels an example where political views are highly influential. Peter Thiel has argued that the decision was made to curtail increased nuclear power utilisation when India were assisted to build nuclear power plants by the US but then quickly went on the build nuclear weapons from those reactors. It was realised it is almost impossible to enable nuclear power without the consequence of nuclear weapons going to that nation as well. Humans have surely demonstrated too many times our potential for brutality and warring to ignore such dangers. One thing is sure IMO - human caused climate change is real and is a huge potential threat to us all- we need to at least take a cautious approach if the planet is to avoid getting fried. This should ideally be an issue where we can unite out of common interest, not another point of division...but fossil fuel lobbyists have serially sought to sow doubt, obfuscation and confusion despite the known science and that dangerous, deliberate and disingenuous misinformation needs to be firmly rejected.
