Skepticism is healthy and is the essential posture of the Scientific Mind, and is not remotely the same as denial. The cherry picked time series used by the Met are clearly 'bad science' in the name of something 'ostensibly good'. FYI the intellectual authoritarians are much scarier than the skeptics, usually, in the long run. I wonder if this discussion should be more about communications strategies than material science.

It is one thing to not believe whatever crap the media is 'shitposting'. It is another to completely dismiss the fundamental science.

The only thing that is questionable in those graphs is the temperature prediction for 2020 to 2025 because we can't see into the future.
